Brown Trout
If you're targeting brown trout near Fairview, focus your efforts on the Lake Erie tributaries. While rainbows get much of the attention, these streams also hold a decent population of browns. They tend to be more reclusive than rainbows, often holding in deeper pools and under cover. The best times to target them are during the spring and fall, coinciding with the steelhead and rainbow runs. However, browns can be caught year-round with the right tactics. Try using streamers or nightcrawlers fished deep and slow. A practical tip is to focus on areas with undercut banks and woody debris, as these provide excellent hiding spots for brown trout. Many of the same access points used for rainbow trout, such as those along Walnut Creek and Trout Run, will also put you in brown trout territory. Don't be surprised if you encounter some impressively sized browns – Lake Erie browns can grow quite large.
