The brown trout was first brought into this state in the 1890s land is now abundant from high mountain streams to broad rivers flowing onto the plains. These fish can be difficult to catch, but many anglers have good success during their fall spawning runs. A large dark spotting pattern and reddish dots can help anglers distinguish these fish from rainbows and cutthroats.

Brown trout spawn in the mid-October to mid-November period and emerge in the mid-April to end of May period.  Rainbow spawn mid-April to mid-May and emerge in the June 1-mid July period.
