Trout Brook

[DT10 Guy]

OK,I am a newbie to stream trout fishing in se mn so bare with me on this question. I am looking to check out Trout Brook just south of Miesville. Is this stream open to fish right now because some of the stream is in Goodhue county and some is in Dakota county? Or do i have to wait until the 12th?

Thanks for any info--DT10

good luck , never fished that stream, let us know how you do.

[DT10 Guy]

Will do. I am just getting into fly fishing so it will definitely be an interested outing.

well make sure you got some bead head patterns ESPECIALLY Prince Nymph, Pheasant Tail, etc. sizes 16 & 14 for sure

I looked at the maps and only a tiny portion of the designated section of Trout Brook lies in Goodhue county. That being said, If you want to fish Trout Brook between April 1-11, stay in Goodhue county. The portion in Dakota county IS NOT open to catch release right now. It is closed to fishing, like the rest of the state ouside of the SE C&R zone, until April 12.

Only Houston, Fillmore, Mower, Dodge, Olmsted, Winona, Wabasha, and Goodhue counties are open to the early C&R season right now.

I Stand corrected, thanks Deadhead.

You only have a block of unproductive water,in Goodhue but thats the only area where a fly rod is useful,upper trout brook is 4-10 ft wide and brush.It may have changed with the park there but I dont know.Try it anyway legal water anyway you may have fun!

I should add from the road to the Cannon river is Goodhue county,upstrean from the road is Dakota,Co.
