"Southeastern Minnesota may be the least well-known fly fishing mecca in the United States," declares the "Trout Unlimited's Guide to America's 100 Best Trout Streams."
This beautiful corner of the state, hilly bluff country with creeks winding through picturesque valleys, is no secret to avid fly-fishermen (and women) from Minnesota. But their inclusion in this national guide to trout fishing gives them the broader recognition they deserve.
Brown, brook and rainbow trout are found in the south fork of the Root River, near Preston and Lanesboro, and the Whitewater River east of Rochester. Trout Creek Run, between St. Charles and Lanesboro, holds brown and brook trout and is "one of the prettiest trout streams anywhere," according to the book. Concise descriptions of each give details on where, when and how to fish these streams.
Brook trout are native to the area. Brown trout, now the most common to southeastern Minnesota streams, were introduced more than a century ago. Some streams are stocked with rainbow trout.
Minnesota's Department of Natural Resources also provides information on fishing these streams, including maps. Check the web site at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/fishing.html for lots of other fishing information, or call 651/296-6157 or 888-646-6367 (from Minnesota).
