Brown Trout
The rivers and streams around Dinosaur, Colorado, offer a chance to tangle with some wild brown trout. While not as famous as other Colorado trout destinations, the Yampa River and its tributaries hold decent populations of browns that see less fishing pressure. The best time to target these fish is during the spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Terrestrial patterns can be particularly effective in the late summer and early fall. Access to the Yampa can be found at various points along Highway 40, but be prepared to hike to reach some of the better fishing spots. Keep in mind that flows can be variable depending on snowmelt and irrigation demands. These browns can be wary, so use a stealthy approach and lighter tippet. Look for them in deeper pools and runs, especially near undercut banks.
