Brown Trout
Elk Ridge serves as a great starting point for exploring brown trout fisheries in the surrounding mountains. The Spanish Fork River, a short drive east, is a worthwhile destination. Focus your efforts on the deeper pools and undercut banks where browns like to hold. Fall is an excellent time to target brown trout as they become more active in preparation for spawning. Streamers and larger nymphs are effective during this period. For a more secluded experience, consider exploring some of the smaller tributaries of the Spanish Fork River. These streams often hold smaller, but wild, brown trout. A local tip: Access to some areas may require hiking, so be prepared with appropriate gear. Be aware that brown trout in this region can be quite wary, so stealth and careful presentation are key. The brown trout in these rivers are typically in the 8-14 inch range, with the occasional larger fish possible in the deeper pools of the Spanish Fork River.
