Brown Trout
While Lewiston isn't primarily known for its brown trout fishing, the Clearwater River does hold a population of these fish, offering a unique angling opportunity. These browns are often migratory, moving in and out of the Clearwater from other tributaries or even the Snake River. Targeting them requires some strategy and local knowledge. Fall, particularly October and November, is often considered the best time to fish for brown trout in this area, as they begin their spawning runs. Look for them in deeper pools and runs with good cover. Streamers and large nymphs are popular choices. A local tip: Check the Idaho Fish and Game stocking reports. While the Clearwater isn't heavily stocked with browns, any recent releases can concentrate fish in certain areas. Access can be challenging in some areas, so be prepared for some hiking. Also, be aware of the strong currents and changing water levels, especially after rain or snowmelt. The browns in the Clearwater can be quite large, with some fish exceeding 20 inches, offering a rewarding challenge for experienced anglers.
