Miscellaneous Trout Stream Report

[JBMasterAngler]

I’m in St. Cloud for Easter weekend, and decided to check out nearby Little Rock Creek. I had very low expectations. There’s a few easements, and a nice little wildlife management area, but the creek really isn’t very fishable. Water was pretty high, and banks were flooded. Overhanging brush would make fishing impossible in summer. Didn’t catch anything. Wasn’t disappointed though. Now I know not to bother again. Was still a nice morning for a walk in the country.

I had an all day pass today, so I decided to make the drive up to the upper reaches of the Namekagon River. Boy was I humbled! Not a single bite! Water was pretty high though, and the current was really racing through. There’s definitely some potential. Maybe I’ll try it again in the fall. Ventured to the lower reaches, thinking I’d find some good summer smallie spots. Could be good times on a hot summer day.
