Every state has their own "Fish and Game" website, although sometimes they are known by a different name. On them, you'll find rules and regulations as well as weekly fishing reports. Some of these web sites even offer trout fishing tips for lakes and rivers in their area.
These sites are a great resources because while the basics remain the same, each state and body of water tends to have its own nuances.
I have three different trout fishing lakes in my local area and the fishing is different in all of them. One lake is deep and semi-clear, another is very muddy, and another has very clear water and has great fishing in the shallow end (at least in Fall). I have to use different techniques and rigs to successfully catch trout in each of the lakes.
Also, trout fishing varies with each season (Fall, Winter, Spring, & Summer). Understanding, these differences and how they apply to your state, will help increase your success rate!
Be sure to check your state's site often. Read the fishing reports to find out where and how folks have been catching trout. See if they offer special fishing tips. Minnesota has an excellent one! In fact, the Minnesota trout fishing tips page is one of the best I've seen! Not only does it offer seasonal tips, it also offers trout species tips. Even if you don't live in Minnesota, it's worth a look. You may find that some of the trout fishing tips will work in your state!
