Brown Trout
Well I am heading out to try and catch some Browns on Saturday (prolly noon to 5ish), likely around Ogden road. I read the Browns spawn from the cement plant to the Ogden each year and was wondering if anyone could offer advice so I can land some doozies (either tackle, spots, or techniques)

Only above the weir. Below the weir it is open all year (other than the bird sanctuary).

Most of the browns should be finished spawning and therefore all skinny and exhausted. Many folks believe it is a good time to let the fish rest a bit while they restock the river for the future.

sorry jriad, I see this thread got away from you. Whatever your fishing for is your choice. But if you decide to try for rainbows, go with the san juan, peacock waterboatmen, or a tung stud (if you can find it) if your fly fishing.
If your spinning, use a panther martin brwon trout imitation

It may be legal to target those spawning browns, but its not ethical. If you want good fishing in years to come leave them the hell alone.

lol wow. Hypocrit central around here. By targeting spawning browns I was just meaning I was going to fish in the area they spawn. By using raps I catch what I catch.
I guess some people look at that as bad but then again some people look at catching fish as vulgar as well as fish can feel pain. Cast the first stone peeps.

Either way it's obvious you want to fish in the area the browns are spawning, which most people would interpret as targeting them, and there is a general consensus on here that that's not a good idea.

I say if the regulations say it's open and you can fish there then fish away!!
nothing illegal about fishing an open body of water!
my 2 cents! (((((((((((((WAVES @ THE TREE HUGGERS))))))))))

Just got back from the Bow....1 Rainbow, 5 browns (2 males 3 females, all between 16-20 inches) all the Browns were fat, healthy and in top shape. Not a tattered fin in the bunch.
