Brown Trout

Central Oregon isn't as widely known for Brown Trout as some other regions, but La Pine provides access to some hidden gems. The Fall River, a tributary of the Deschutes, is a spring creek renowned for its clear water and challenging brown trout fishing. This is a fly fishing destination, requiring finesse and accurate presentations. The browns here are known to be selective, so matching the hatch is crucial. Spring and fall offer the best fishing conditions, with consistent hatches and cooler water temperatures. Nymphs and dry flies are the go-to techniques. Access to the Fall River is limited, so be prepared to walk and explore. Consider hiring a local guide to learn the river's intricacies and improve your chances of success. The brown trout in the Fall River are typically smaller than those found in larger rivers, but they are prized for their beauty and the technical challenge they present.
