Brown Trout
While not a traditional trout destination, the tailwaters below dams on the Muskingum River near Marietta, Ohio, can surprisingly hold Brown Trout. These trout are typically escapees from upstream stockings, but some manage to survive and even thrive in the cooler, oxygenated waters. The best time to target them is during the cooler months, from late fall through early spring. Look for deeper pools and runs below the dam, and try using small spinners, spoons, or live bait. Access to the tailwaters is typically available through public access points near the dams, but be mindful of water levels and currents, which can fluctuate rapidly. The trout here aren't huge, but landing one can be a rewarding experience in an unexpected location. Remember to check Ohio's fishing regulations for specific trout regulations.
