| Nebraska Trout Fishing | |
| Trout Fishing in Nebraska 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 Lakes In Nebraska Lake McConaughy and Sutherland Reservoir are the two major bodies of water in NE with healthy populations of trout. Many rivers and smaller lakes may also contain trout. Some of the waters with stocked trout include Crystal Cove, Fremont Lake, Standing Bear Lake, Grove Lake, Weeping Water Pond, Auburn Lake, Holmes Lake, Qwest Lake, Benson Lake, Ta-Ha-Zouka Park Lake, Pawnee Park Lake, Such’s Lake, Ord City Lake, Windmill State Recreation Area Lake No. 1, Lexington City Park Lake, Holdrege City Park Lake, Arnold Lake and Birdwood Lake. The Nebraska state record brook trout was taken from Pawnee Springs near North Platte, the NE state record brown trout came out of the Snake River, the Ogallala Lake gave up the state record cutthroat trout and is unknown where the state record rainbow trout was caught.
