Brown Trout
While rainbow trout get more attention, Elma, Washington, also holds a decent population of brown trout, primarily in the Chehalis River system. These browns aren't as numerous as rainbows, making them a more prized catch for anglers willing to put in the time. The best time to target them is in the fall, as they gear up for their spawning runs. Early mornings and late evenings are often the most productive. Access can be a bit more challenging than for the Satsop River, but the Wynoochee River, a Chehalis tributary, offers several access points. Consider using streamers or crankbaits that mimic smaller fish, as browns are predatory and often target other fish for food. Keep in mind that brown trout can be easily spooked, so stealth is key. Approach your fishing spots quietly and avoid making sudden movements.
