Brown Trout
While Geneva, Ohio, isn't a renowned brown trout destination, determined anglers can find opportunities within a reasonable drive. The Grand River, while better known for steelhead, does hold a population of brown trout, especially in its upper reaches. The Chagrin River, further west, is another option, with some stocking occurring annually. Spring and fall are the best times to target brown trout, as they become more active during cooler water temperatures. Fly fishing with nymphs and streamers is a popular method, but small spinners and spoons can also be effective. Focus on areas with deep pools, undercut banks, and submerged structure. Be sure to check current fishing regulations and stocking reports from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. A local tip: Focus on areas downstream from bridge crossings, as these often create deeper pools that hold trout. The brown trout in these rivers typically range from 10-16 inches, with the potential for larger fish. Be prepared for challenging wading conditions and brushy banks.
