It’s a great winter to try the southeast Minnesota trout option
Down in the bottom-right-hand corner of Minnesota, some 700 miles of trout streams flow through the valleys between bluffs. They range from oversized trickles to wade-with-caution rivers. Finning in those cool, clear streams are brook trout, brown trout, and, often, rainbows.
