Brown Trout
Bancroft, Idaho, offers some fantastic opportunities for targeting brown trout in a relatively secluded setting. The Portneuf River, winding its way through the area, is the primary draw. What makes this location special is the combination of relatively low fishing pressure and healthy populations of wild brown trout. Spring and fall are prime times, with the fish actively feeding before and after the warmer summer months. Look for success using dry flies during the mayfly hatches in the spring, or nymphing the deeper runs during the fall when the browns are bulking up for winter. A local tip: access to the river is relatively easy via several county road crossings. Be mindful of private property and always obtain the necessary permits. The browns here tend to be on the smaller side, averaging 10-16 inches, but their wild nature and the scenic surroundings more than compensate.
