| Indiana Trout Fishing | |
| Trout Fishing in Indiana The 5 primary trouts are the rainbow, brook, brown, cutthroat and lake trout. Brown trout are considered the most difficult to catch and brookies are the easiest. Pure cold water is key to survival of the trouts and the brook trout is the most sensitive to temperature. The others are comfortable in slightly warmer waters. Trout Fishing Waters In Indiana Other than Lake Michigan, trout fishing in Indiana is limited to waters stocked with trout by the Indiana Division of Fish & Wildlife. You can see a list of the waters receiving trout stocking in Indiana. The state record brook trout was caught at Lake Gage, the state record rainbow trout came from Clear Lake and the state record steelhead trout came form Trail Creek.
