Brown Trout
Bliss, Idaho, offers fantastic brown trout fishing, particularly in the Malad River. This spring-fed river maintains a consistent temperature year-round, making it a reliable fishery even when other Idaho streams are less productive. The browns here are known for their size and can be quite challenging to catch, often requiring a stealthy approach and precise presentations. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall, avoiding the high heat of summer when they tend to be less active. Fly fishing is popular, with nymphs and streamers being particularly effective. For bank access, try the areas near the highway crossings; many offer public access points. Be aware that the Malad River can experience strong currents, so wading requires caution. A local tip: early morning or late evening fishing often yields the best results as the fish are less pressured and more willing to feed.
