Brown Trout
Brown Trout fishing around Green Mountain Falls can be exceptional, especially in the fall when these fish begin their spawning runs. Focus your efforts on the larger streams and rivers in the area, as these tend to hold the biggest browns. Look for deep pools, undercut banks, and areas with woody debris – prime holding water for these ambush predators. When targeting browns, consider using larger streamers or crankbaits that imitate smaller fish. Fishing during low-light conditions, such as dawn or dusk, can also increase your chances of success. A local tip: try fishing the tailwaters below any dams in the area, as these often hold larger brown trout that feed on the abundant forage. Be aware that brown trout can be notoriously picky, so experiment with different retrieves and presentations until you find what works. Also, check local regulations for any specific restrictions on brown trout fishing.
