The United States is filled with great fishing spots for any kind of fish you can imagine. Each spring, trout takes the forefront and anglers don smaller equipment to pursue small prey.

As any fisherman will tell you, one of the best parts of fishing is the opportunity to disconnect from the world and engage with nature. Trout fishing is perfect for this as so many streams and rivers, be they in the Rockies or stocked canals, let anglers unplug.

Rivers close to their feeding mountains, like portions of the Yellowstone and Colorado rivers, are perfect for trout fishing. The further into the mountains, the more beautiful and serene the scenery.

On the East Coast, Appalachia offers some great wild trout fishing. National parks that incorporate fresh-fed rivers like Shenandoah National Park and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are two great places to start.

If you don’t mind catching domestic trout, it’s likely that, no matter where you live in the United States, there’s some sort of stocking program. This is true in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, just for starters.
