Brown Trout
While Orange, Ohio, isn't exactly a brown trout mecca, determined anglers can find opportunities within a reasonable drive. The Chagrin River, while known more for steelhead, does hold a population of browns, particularly in its colder, more secluded stretches upstream from the heavily fished areas. These fish aren't stocked, so they tend to be wild and wily. Spring and fall are your best bets, coinciding with steelhead runs, as browns will be more active then. Focus on deep pools and undercut banks, using small spinners or nymphs. Access can be tricky; look for roadside pull-offs and be prepared for some walking. Be aware of private property and respect posted signs. The browns here are typically smaller, but the reward is catching a truly wild fish in a relatively urban setting. Check ODNR regulations for specific size and creel limits on the Chagrin.
