Seasonal Activity Chart
Brown Trout
Elmira, New York offers some surprisingly good brown trout fishing opportunities, particularly in the Chemung River and its tributaries like Newtown Creek. The Chemung, while known for its warm water species, holds a population of browns that thrive in the cooler stretches and during specific times of the year. Spring and fall are prime times to target these fish, as they become more active with the cooler water temperatures and are often moving for spawning. Look for deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with good current breaks. A local tip: Access to the Chemung River is relatively easy from several bridge crossings and parks within Elmira, but be mindful of private property along the banks. Wading can be productive, but watch for slippery rocks and fluctuating water levels, especially after rain. Brown trout in the Chemung system tend to be opportunistic feeders, so a mix of streamer patterns, nymphs, and even small crankbaits can be effective.
