Seasonal Activity Chart
Brown Trout
Chardon, Ohio, offers a surprisingly good shot at brown trout, primarily due to the East Branch Chagrin River. This cold-water stream, supplemented by stocked fish, provides the best opportunity in Geauga County. Spring and fall are prime times; spring sees active fish after ice-out, while fall brings pre-spawn aggression. Focus your efforts on deeper pools and runs, especially after rainfall when browns become more active. Wading is the most common method, but be mindful of water levels – the river can rise quickly after heavy rain. A local tip: Access points are limited, but the area near Claridon-Troy Road offers decent bank access. Remember to check the Ohio Department of Natural Resources stocking reports to pinpoint recently stocked areas. Browns here aren't huge, typically averaging 10-14 inches, but they're wild and wily, offering a satisfying challenge.
