Brown Trout
The Lander, Wyoming area boasts some excellent opportunities for targeting brown trout. The Middle Fork of the Popo Agie River and its tributaries offer prime habitat. These waters are known for holding wild, naturally reproducing populations of browns. The best time to fish for them is typically late summer and early fall when the water levels have stabilized and the fish are actively feeding before winter. Look for brown trout holding in deeper pools, under cutbanks, and near submerged structure. Streamers can be effective for targeting larger browns, while nymphs and dry flies work well in the riffles and runs. A useful tip: be prepared for varying water conditions, as the river can fluctuate depending on snowmelt and rainfall. Access to the Middle Fork is available through several public access points, but be sure to consult a map to avoid trespassing on private land. The browns here are known to be wary, so stealth and a careful presentation are key to success.
