Brown Trout
If you're looking to tangle with some beautiful brown trout in upstate New York, Medina offers excellent opportunities. The Oak Orchard River is the star here, known for its consistent flow and ideal trout habitat. Spring and fall are prime times, with the spring run bringing in fish staging to spawn and the fall run offering aggressive browns preparing for winter. A local tip: focus on the deeper pools and runs, especially after rain when the water is slightly turbid. Browns here can be quite selective, so a varied selection of flies and lures is recommended. Consider using streamers to imitate baitfish or nymphs like pheasant tails. Access is relatively easy along the river, with several public access points and parking areas available. Be mindful of private property and respect the local regulations. The browns in the Oak Orchard are known for their size and fight, so be prepared for a good battle!
