Brown Trout
If you're after brown trout near Salt Lake City, look no further than the Weber River. This river system, known for its challenging but rewarding fishing, holds a healthy population of browns. The best time to target them is during the fall spawning run when they become more aggressive. Focus on areas with deep pools, undercut banks, and structure. Large streamers and articulated flies are often effective for enticing strikes. Fly fishing is popular, but spin anglers can also find success with lures that imitate smaller trout or baitfish. A local's secret is to fish the lower sections of the Weber near its confluence with the Great Salt Lake. These browns often grow larger due to the abundance of forage. Be prepared for varying water conditions, as the Weber can be subject to runoff and fluctuations. Check river flows before heading out, and consider hiring a local guide for the best chance of success.
