Brown Trout
Brown trout fishing near Olympia presents a unique challenge and reward. While not as abundant as in some other parts of the state, the Skookumchuck River, located southwest of Olympia, is known to hold a population of these elusive fish. The upper reaches of the river, with their cool, clear water and diverse structure, are prime locations to target browns. Spring and fall are generally the best times, coinciding with insect hatches and spawning activity. Access can be a bit tricky, often requiring some hiking along the riverbanks. Fly fishing is a popular and effective method, using dry flies and nymphs that imitate local insects. Stealth is crucial, as brown trout are easily spooked in the clear water. Consider using longer leaders and lighter tippet to increase your chances. The Skookumchuck browns tend to be wild and wary, but landing one of these beauties is a testament to your angling skills.
