Brown Trout

For Brown Trout enthusiasts visiting Embarrass, Wisconsin, you're in luck. The Embarrass River itself is a designated trout stream and offers some excellent fishing. This river is known for its wild brown trout population, providing a more natural and challenging angling experience. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for browns here.
