Brown Trout
While Greenwood Village itself doesn't boast ideal brown trout habitat, you're within a reasonable drive of some excellent trout streams in the foothills west of the city. The South Platte River and its tributaries offer the closest and most consistent brown trout fishing. Fall is a particularly productive time, as the browns become more aggressive before winter. Focus on deeper pools and runs, especially those with good cover like overhanging banks and submerged logs. Fly fishing is the most popular method, and matching the hatch is key. Consult local fly shops for the most up-to-date information on insect activity. A practical tip: access can be limited in some areas, so research public access points and regulations before you go. Also, be prepared for changing weather conditions, as the mountains can experience sudden storms. The brown trout in these streams are known for their fight, so be sure to use appropriate tackle. Consider practicing catch and release to help maintain the health of the fishery.
