Brown Trout
If you're chasing brown trout in northern Idaho, Oldtown offers some fantastic opportunities. The Pend Oreille River, which flows right through town, is the main draw. This stretch of the river is known for its healthy population of browns, with some real trophies lurking in the deeper runs and near structure. Prime time is typically fall, as the browns become more aggressive pre-spawn. Spring can also be productive as the water warms up. Access is relatively easy, with several public access points along the riverbank. Remember to check the Idaho Fish and Game regulations for any specific restrictions. A local tip: try fishing the areas where smaller creeks and streams enter the Pend Oreille; these areas often hold concentrations of baitfish and, consequently, hungry brown trout. Also, be prepared for some strong currents; heavier tackle may be necessary to get your bait or lure down to where the fish are holding.
