Brown Trout
The area around Irwin, Idaho, boasts excellent brown trout fishing, primarily in the South Fork of the Snake River. This tailwater fishery is renowned for its large, healthy brown trout population and stunning scenery. Fall is an exceptional time to target these fish, as they become more aggressive in preparation for spawning. Streamer fishing can be particularly effective during this period, with anglers often using large, articulated patterns to entice strikes. Spring can also be productive, especially during the early season mayfly hatches. Access to the South Fork is relatively easy via numerous boat ramps and wade-fishing access points. Be aware that the river can experience fluctuating water levels due to dam releases, so check the flow forecasts before heading out. The brown trout here are known for their size and fight, with fish exceeding 20 inches not uncommon.
