Brown Trout
If you're targeting Brown Trout near Frisco, Colorado, you're in for a treat. The area is surrounded by excellent trout streams, including the Blue River, which flows right through town. The stretch below Dillon Reservoir is particularly productive due to consistent flows and cold, oxygenated water. These browns aren't always easy to fool, so stealth and presentation are key. Fall is an exceptional time to target browns as they become more aggressive leading up to the spawn. Try using streamers that imitate smaller fish or crayfish. A local's secret? Fish the deeper pools and undercut banks during the day, and then switch to the riffles and runs in the evening. Remember that the Blue River is subject to special regulations, so be sure to check the current Colorado Parks and Wildlife fishing regulations before you go. Access to the river is readily available via several public access points along Highway 9.
