Brown Trout
Targeting brown trout near Timnath, Colorado, means heading for the Cache La Poudre River. This river offers diverse trout habitat, from fast-flowing riffles to deep, slow pools. Brown trout fishing is best in the spring and fall, avoiding the high water flows of snowmelt season and the warmest months of summer when fish seek refuge in cooler, deeper water. Access to the Poudre is generally good, with numerous pull-offs and access points along Highway 14. Be aware of private property and respect posted signs. A local tip: Pay close attention to the hatches. Matching the hatch with your fly selection will significantly increase your success. Also, be prepared to use various techniques, from dry fly fishing to nymphing, depending on the conditions. The brown trout in the Poudre are known for their beautiful coloration and can be quite wary, so stealth is key.
