Brown Trout
While New Albany, Ohio, isn't exactly known as a brown trout mecca, determined anglers can find opportunities within a reasonable drive. The Mad River, about an hour west, is a popular destination for stocked and holdover browns. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, particularly after a stocking. Focus on areas with riffles, runs, and deep pools. Small spinners, spoons, and crankbaits can be effective, as well as nymphing with weighted flies. Keep an eye on water levels; the Mad River can fluctuate rapidly after rain. Access is generally good along the state Route 36 bridge and at various public access points maintained by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Don't expect trophy-sized fish; most browns will be in the 10-14 inch range, but the chance of hooking a larger, wild fish is always there. Local tip: Check the ODNR stocking reports before you go to target recently stocked fish.
