Brown Trout
If you're looking to tangle with some beautiful brown trout in Northern Utah, Smithfield offers some excellent opportunities. The nearby Logan River is a prime location, known for its clear, cold water and healthy brown trout population. Browns here aren't necessarily huge, averaging 12-16 inches, but they're plentiful and can be quite aggressive. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish, as the water temperatures are more favorable and the fish are actively feeding before and after the summer heat. For easy access, try the areas around the campgrounds and picnic sites along the river. A local tip: Browns in the Logan River can be picky, so experiment with different fly patterns and presentation techniques. Don't be afraid to try small nymphs or dry flies, and be sure to use a light tippet to avoid spooking the fish. Also, be mindful of the river's flow, as it can fluctuate depending on snowmelt and irrigation needs.
