Brown Trout
For surprisingly good brown trout fishing, look to the streams of Clayton County near Garber. These spring-fed creeks offer ideal habitat for browns. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall, particularly after a period of stable water levels. Brown trout in this region tend to be wild and wary, so stealth is key. Use light tackle and natural-looking presentations. Try small spinners, nymphs, and dry flies. Many of the streams are small and easily waded. A local access tip is to check the Iowa DNR's trout stocking list for specific stream locations and stocking schedules near Garber. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the quality of this fishery.
