Brown Trout
If you're after Brown Trout near Hot Sulphur Springs, the Colorado River is your go-to destination. This stretch of the river is renowned for its healthy population of browns, with opportunities for both wading and float fishing. While browns can be caught year-round, the fall months are particularly productive as they prepare for spawning. Streamers, nymphs, and even dry flies can all be effective, depending on the conditions. Focus on areas with deep runs, undercut banks, and structure like boulders and fallen trees. A local tip: don't be afraid to fish at night, especially during the warmer months. Brown trout are often more active under the cover of darkness. Also, be aware of private property along the river and respect landowners' rights. The brown trout in the Colorado River near Hot Sulphur Springs can reach impressive sizes, with some fish exceeding 20 inches.
