Brown Trout
Idaho City offers a unique opportunity to target wild brown trout in a historic setting. The Boise River and its tributaries near town hold a healthy population of these fish, offering a classic freestone stream experience. The best time to fish for browns here is typically from late spring through fall, after the spring runoff has subsided and the water has cleared. Early mornings and late evenings are particularly productive, as the browns become more active in the cooler hours. A local tip: Focus on the deeper pools and undercut banks where the larger browns tend to hold, especially during the warmer months. Wading can be challenging in some sections due to slippery rocks and variable flows, so wear appropriate footwear and be cautious. These browns aren't heavily pressured, but they can be selective, so experiment with different fly patterns and presentations.
