Stocked rainbow trout at catchable sizes are eager biters, which are ideal for entry level anglers and kids who may find it challenging to catch a fish. Urban lakes are typically stocked between March and June, September and November but fish can be caught year-round. The most common, basic fishing method for rainbow trout is bait fishing. This article demonstrates two styles of bait fishing that can be quite effective in stocked lakes.
Stream trout lakes. The DNR manages roughly 180 lakes for stream trout. Because stream trout don't reproduce in lakes, regular stocking is required to sustain these fisheries. Each year, the DNR stocks these waters with a total of roughly 400,000 rainbow trout, 150,000 splake, 90,000 brook trout, and 20,000 brown trout.
