Brown Trout
If you're looking for a classic Wisconsin brown trout experience, the streams around Clintonville offer exactly that. The Crystal River and its tributaries are a great place to start. These waters are known for their healthy populations of wild browns, thanks to ongoing habitat improvement efforts. Spring and fall are prime times, as the trout are more active with the cooler water temperatures. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive times to fish. For access, try the public access points along County Road D on the Crystal River. Remember to check the local regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can vary from stream to stream. Wading can be challenging in some areas due to the stream's varying depth and flow, so wear appropriate gear and be cautious. The browns in this area aren't known to be particularly large, averaging 10-14 inches, but their vibrant colors and wild nature make them a rewarding catch.
