Brown Trout

Targeting Brown Trout in Green Lake, Wisconsin, presents a unique challenge and reward. While Green Lake itself is known for its deep, clear waters, it's the tributaries and smaller streams feeding into the lake that hold the most promise for browns. Spring and fall are prime times; the cooler water temperatures encourage active feeding and spawning runs. Early mornings and late evenings are particularly productive. A stealthy approach is key here. These browns are often skittish in the clear water. Try drifting nymphs or small streamers through deeper runs and pools. Consider exploring the Dakin Creek area – it's known to hold some decent browns. Remember that Green Lake is a large lake and can be affected by weather, so be prepared for changing conditions. Check local regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out.
