Brown Trout
Targeting brown trout near Avon Lake, Ohio, presents a unique challenge, primarily focusing on the tributaries that feed into Lake Erie. While not a classic trout stream destination, the Rocky River and other smaller streams receive stocking of steelhead and sometimes brown trout, offering a chance to connect with these prized fish. The fall and spring steelhead runs often bring in some holdover browns. Concentrate your efforts in deeper pools and runs, particularly after rainfall. Small spinners, spoons, and egg imitations can be effective. Be prepared for challenging conditions, as these streams can be heavily fished and subject to fluctuating water levels. A local tip: Access points along the Rocky River Reservation are readily available, but be respectful of private property along other streams. The brown trout here are often smaller than those found in more traditional trout streams, but the thrill of catching one in this urban setting is undeniable. Check the Ohio DNR stocking reports for the most up-to-date information on stocking locations.
