Recent trips on the Iron River have been producing excellent catches of rainbow trout, with anglers regularly landing fish in the 8-12 inch range. The crystal-clear waters of the Iron River provide the perfect habitat for these beautiful fish, and Guide Cory knows exactly where to find them based on seasonal patterns and water conditions.
On our recent outing, we successfully landed a beautiful 10-inch rainbow trout using light tackle and specialized river fishing techniques.

Rainbow trout in the Iron River thrive in the cold, oxygen-rich waters flowing through northern Wisconsin. These fish prefer deep pools, undercut banks, and areas with moderate current where they can conserve energy while feeding opportunistically. During warmer months, focus on deeper holes and areas with overhead cover where trout seek cooler water temperatures. Cory specializes in techniques perfectly suited to these conditions, including drift fishing with live bait and casting small spinners or flies that imitate the natural food sources in the river. Rainbow trout are known for their spectacular fights once hooked, often leaping from the water multiple times – making them one of the most exciting freshwater species to target.
For your day on the Iron River with Cory Wehrman, we recommend wearing layered clothing appropriate for the weather, as conditions can change throughout the day. Polarized sunglasses are essential for reducing glare and spotting fish in the water. Morning trips typically start around 7:00 AM when trout are most active, though afternoon sessions are also productive. Bring a camera to capture your catch, as most rainbow trout are released after a quick photo to preserve the fishery. Wading is often part of the experience, so appropriate footwear is recommended, though Cory can accommodate those who prefer to fish from the bank as well. Groups are kept small, with a maximum of 2-3 anglers per trip, ensuring personalized attention and instruction throughout your fishing adventure.
