Brown Trout
If you're after Brown Trout near Naturita, Colorado, the San Miguel River and its tributaries offer promising opportunities. This area provides a more remote and less pressured fishing experience compared to some of Colorado's more popular trout streams. The San Miguel, flowing through canyons and valleys, holds a population of wild brown trout that can be quite rewarding to target. Fall is a particularly good time to fish for browns, as they become more active in preparation for spawning. Focus on deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with submerged structure. A local tip: try using streamers or large nymphs to entice the larger browns. Be prepared for challenging wading conditions in some sections of the river. Brown trout in this area can range from 10-18 inches, with the potential for larger fish in the deeper pools. Respect private property along the river and practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
