Trout anglers hoping to find a great new spot to fish in 2019 should check out Trout Trails, the DNR’s web application.

The interactive tool features fisheries biologist-verified trout waters that may be lesser known but are considered outstanding fishing destinations. The app features more than 310 locations covering nearly every corner of the state, with new places being added over time.

The Trout Trails filter features let users conduct specialized searches, narrowing by the fish species they’d like to target and/or the watershed they’d like to fish in.

New for 2019 are nearly a hundred more photos – including shots of nearby parking and trail areas, where available – that provide additional visual help when planning trips.

Trout Trails is not a downloadable app but is compatible with all types of electronic devices. Each destination entry features extensive information, including:

• Available trout species.
• Fishing regulations.
• Presence of stocked or naturally reproducing fish.
• Driving directions.
• Area lodging, restaurants and noteworthy information (such as presence of fast water, canoe/kayak/tube accessibility, best times to fish, recommended bait or lures, etc.).
