Brown Trout
While not as famous as other Wisconsin trout destinations, Amherst offers some decent brown trout fishing in the Tomorrow River and its tributaries. These streams are smaller and more intimate than larger rivers, offering a more secluded fishing experience. Spring and fall are the best times to target brown trout here, as water temperatures are cooler and the fish are more active. Consider using small spinners, spoons, or live bait. Access to the Tomorrow River is available at several road crossings and public access points. A local tip: focus your efforts on the deeper pools and runs, as these areas tend to hold the most fish. The brown trout in the Amherst area typically range from 8-12 inches, but larger fish are occasionally caught.
