Brown Trout
While Rupert, Idaho might not be the first place that comes to mind for brown trout fishing, the nearby Snake River and its tributaries offer some surprisingly good opportunities. These browns aren't typically giants, but they can provide exciting action in a scenic setting. The best time to target brown trout here is during the fall, as they become more active preparing for spawning. Early mornings and late evenings are usually the most productive. A key tip is to focus on areas with good current and structure, such as undercut banks, fallen logs, and riffles. Wading is a popular way to access these areas, but be cautious of slippery rocks and changing water levels. Fly fishing with nymphs and streamers can be very effective, but spinning gear with small lures can also produce results. The brown trout in this region are known for being opportunistic feeders, so experiment with different presentations to see what they're hitting on any given day.
