Brown Trout

The West Twin River near Mishicot, Wisconsin, offers a chance to chase brown trout in a smaller, more intimate setting than some of the larger rivers further north. This tributary to Lake Michigan supports a run of both wild and stocked brown trout, offering anglers a mix of opportunities. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, coinciding with spawning migrations. Access can be found through county and state lands along the river, but be prepared for some walking to reach the more secluded spots. Remember to check local regulations regarding catch and release and gear restrictions. The brown trout in this area can be selective, so using natural-looking flies and lures is often key. Focus on areas with deeper pools, undercut banks, and log jams where trout like to hold. Consider using a stealthy approach and light tackle to increase your chances of success in these clearer waters.
