Brown Trout
While Dacono isn't exactly known for its brown trout streams, you're within reach of some excellent opportunities if you're willing to travel a bit west towards the foothills. Focus on rivers and streams that flow out of the mountains, heading towards the Continental Divide. These waters, though often smaller than major rivers, can hold some surprisingly large brown trout. The best time to target them is typically late spring through fall, avoiding the high runoff periods. Access can vary, with some stretches easily accessible from roads and others requiring a bit of a hike. Look for public access points along Highway 119 or research specific sections of the Boulder Creek or St. Vrain Creek. A key tip: Colorado browns can be wary, so use stealthy approaches and long casts to avoid spooking them. Matching the hatch with local insect patterns is crucial for success. These fish reward anglers who are patient and observant.
