Trout stream stocking are done for the year. Staff would like to thank all our trout anglers and supporters for making this season fun and rewarding. Many trout streams flow through public areas where hunting is allowed. Brook Trout - Slow: Brook trout are more interested in spawning than feeding making catching more difficult. Dabble a fly through the narrow unvegetated runs or find deeper pool above beaver dams. Brown Trout - Good: Avoid walking in clear gravel areas in faster moving water, these are are trout nests or redds. Use flies imitating minnows or other small fish. Rainbow Trout - Good: Catchable stocking is complete for the season, but plenty of fish remain in streams. A small chunk of worm or cheese under a bobber fished through a deeper hole will turn a rainbow head. Cut the line on a deeply hooked fish if returning it to the water.
