Brown Trout

Twin Bridges, Montana, sits in the heart of some of the best brown trout fishing in the country. The Big Hole, Beaverhead, and Ruby Rivers converge here, each offering unique brown trout habitat. The Big Hole is known for its larger, more elusive browns, while the Beaverhead offers more consistent fishing with a higher density of fish. The Ruby, smaller and more intimate, can be a sleeper for impressive browns. Fall is prime time as browns become more aggressive before winter. Early mornings and late evenings are best, especially during the warmer months. A local tip: focus on the seams and deeper runs, especially where the rivers meet. Also, be aware of the varying regulations on each river, as they can change frequently. Respect private property, as much of the land along these rivers is privately owned. Remember to check the current fishing regulations before heading out.
