Brown Trout

If you're looking for a classic Wisconsin brown trout experience, Kennan and the surrounding Price County offer some excellent opportunities. The numerous small, cold-water streams and rivers that crisscross the area are perfect for wading and targeting these beautiful fish. Spring and fall are prime times, as the browns become more active with cooler water temperatures. Consider fishing the Jump River and its tributaries; they hold a healthy population of wild browns. Access can be tricky in some areas due to private land, so be sure to consult local maps and respect property lines. A local tip: early morning and late evening are often the most productive times, especially during the warmer months. These browns can be quite selective, so a variety of fly patterns or small spinners is recommended. Be prepared for some challenging casting in tight quarters, but the reward of landing a wild Wisconsin brown trout is well worth the effort.
