If you're looking for Brown Trout near Pierce, Colorado, consider exploring the Cache La Poudre River. While the Poudre is better known further west, the sections closer to Pierce still hold decent populations of browns, especially in the deeper pools and near submerged structure. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the water temperatures are more favorable and the fish are actively feeding. Be aware that this area can experience heavy agricultural runoff, so check water conditions before heading out. Access can be tricky in some spots, but there are several bridge crossings and public access points along County Road 66. Look for areas with undercut banks and riffles leading into pools. Local tip: Small spinners and crankbaits that imitate smaller baitfish can be highly effective here.
