Brown Trout
Targeting brown trout near Lake Montezuma presents a unique challenge for Arizona anglers. While rainbow trout are more commonly stocked, brown trout can sometimes be found in the cooler sections of the Verde River and its tributaries. These fish are typically holdovers from stocking programs and can be more wary than their rainbow counterparts. Focus on deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with heavy cover. Early morning and late evening are prime times to target brown trout, as they tend to be more active during low-light conditions. Use natural-looking presentations, such as streamer flies or small crankbaits that mimic local forage fish. A stealthy approach is crucial, as brown trout are easily spooked. A helpful tip is to check with local fly shops for information on current water conditions and recent sightings. The brown trout population is not abundant, so practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery. Remember to respect private property and obtain any necessary permits before fishing.
