Brown Trout
While Iowa might not be the first place that springs to mind for trout fishing, Kiron offers a surprisingly good opportunity to chase Brown Trout. The key is the West Fork of the Maple River, a cool, spring-fed stream that provides the necessary habitat for these fish to thrive. The Iowa DNR has also been actively stocking Browns in this area, supplementing the naturally reproducing population. Spring and fall are prime times to fish, with the cooler water temperatures leading to increased activity. Early mornings and late evenings are particularly productive. Access to the river is generally good via county road crossings and designated public access points – check the Iowa DNR's online fishing atlas for details. Be aware that the river can be quite shallow in places, so a stealthy approach is crucial. Consider using lightweight spinning gear or a fly rod with small nymphs and dry flies to entice these wary Browns.
