About Rainbow Trout Fishing in Minnesota

Minnesota has some good trout fishing — stream trout and also in inland lakes. We typically pursue the inland trout which can be caught with a variety of presentations! Scrappy fighters and jumpers, they make it fun to reel in. Great eats too! A trout stamp is needed in Minnesota.
