Brown Trout
While not as common as rainbow trout, pursuing Brown Trout near Phoenix offers a more secluded and challenging angling experience. Some higher-elevation streams and reservoirs, like those found north of Phoenix in the Mogollon Rim area, hold populations of brown trout. These fish tend to be more wary and selective than rainbows, requiring a stealthy approach. Fall is an excellent time to target brown trout, as they become more active in preparation for spawning. Local Tip: Focus on areas with deep pools, undercut banks, and rocky structure. Use natural-looking lures or flies that imitate their prey, such as small fish or insects. Brown trout in Arizona are known for their size and fighting ability, making them a prized catch for anglers seeking a trophy.
