Brown Trout
Brown trout fishing near Grangeville, Idaho, centers around the area's diverse river systems and their tributaries. The South Fork Clearwater River, in particular, holds a decent population of browns, though they can be challenging to target. Fall is a fantastic time to chase them, as the browns become more aggressive leading up to their spawn. Look for classic trout water: riffles, runs, and pools with plenty of structure. Streamers can be effective, especially patterns that imitate smaller baitfish or sculpins. Nymphing with stonefly or mayfly imitations is another solid tactic. Access can be tricky in some areas, so be prepared for some hiking. A local angler secret: Focus on the sections of the South Fork Clearwater that receive less pressure, often requiring a bit of a drive and some walking. Remember to check Idaho Fish and Game regulations, as specific sections may have gear restrictions.
