Brown Trout
Though not the first place that comes to mind when thinking about brown trout, the waterways near Fernley, Nevada, do offer limited opportunities to target this species. The most likely place to find them is in the Truckee River, which flows some distance from Fernley but is still within reach for a dedicated angler. The best time to target brown trout is during the fall, as they prepare to spawn. They can also be found in the spring as water temperatures rise. Focus on deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with structure. Fly fishing is the most popular method, with streamers and nymphs being effective choices. Spin fishing with small lures can also produce results. Be aware that the Truckee River can be challenging to fish, with varying flows and technical water. Check water conditions before you go. A local tip: focus on the sections of the Truckee River upstream from Reno, as these areas tend to hold more brown trout. The brown trout in this region are known for their wary nature, so stealth and presentation are key to success.
