This sexy piece of trout water becomes fishable on April 1st, I’m looking forward to the rest of our streams opening up for Catch and Release angling next month. Until then I’ll continue to fish the sections of creek that are designated for winter angling in S.E. Minnesota. It’s about time for some warmer weather and new scenery.

Winter trout season opens January 1st. The MN DNR has specific regulations for where anglers can fish from Jan.1-Mar.31st. Although there may be a possibility that in a few years all streams designated for trout will be open for the winter season for now we fish a select few. The MN DNR released maps with the winter symbol for the streams designated for winter fishing, however the DNR’s website has a much more descriptive map for the winter streams. These are the streams closest to me.
