Brown Trout
While Council, Idaho, might be better known for other species, there are opportunities to pursue brown trout in the surrounding rivers and streams. The Weiser River and some of its tributaries hold populations of these fish, although they may not reach the trophy sizes found in larger rivers. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target brown trout, when water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Focus on areas with good cover, such as overhanging vegetation, undercut banks, and submerged logs. A helpful hint: Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times to fish. Be prepared to hike and wade to access the best fishing spots. The brown trout in this area can be somewhat selective, so experiment with different fly patterns or lures to find what they are biting on. Remember to practice catch-and-release to help preserve the fishery.
