Brown Trout
Brown trout fishing near New River, Arizona, presents a unique challenge, as they are less common than rainbows but offer a rewarding fight. Similar to rainbow trout, you'll need to venture to the higher elevation streams and reservoirs north of New River to find suitable habitat. Look for deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with rocky structure. Brown trout are more predatory than rainbows, so try using larger lures and streamers that imitate smaller fish. Early morning and late evening are prime times to target browns, as they are often more active during low-light conditions. A local tip: Focus on areas where there's a confluence of streams or springs, as these areas tend to hold cooler, more oxygenated water. Also, be stealthy in your approach, as brown trout are wary and easily spooked. Remember to check the local regulations regarding size limits and catch-and-release, as these may differ from those for rainbow trout.
