Brown Trout
While Oconto Falls might not be the first place that comes to mind for brown trout, the Oconto River and its tributaries offer some surprisingly good opportunities for those willing to put in the work. The river boasts a healthy population of wild browns. Spring and fall are the peak seasons. Spring sees browns actively feeding after the winter months, while fall brings the pre-spawn urge, making them more aggressive. Fly fishing is a popular method, with nymphs and streamers being productive. Spin anglers can also find success with small spinners and spoons. A key piece of local advice is to focus on areas with good cover, such as fallen trees and undercut banks. Access can be challenging in some areas, so be prepared to wade. Be sure to check the Wisconsin DNR regulations for specific rules and size limits on the Oconto River.
