Autumn is the season of the Brown Trout in Colorado. These fish are pre-spawn in most of our major watersheds and extremely aggressive and territorial. This is the best and sometimes only time to get a shot at a Brown Trout of a lifetime on many of our local rivers. Focus on streamers imitating smaller trout, and or more visible nymphs for best success. My number one suggestion, tie your patterns on a strong hook........
These bigger fish move and feed nocturnally, and thus we tend to target the larger predatory fish at night. Unfortunately this makes it a bit more technical on the angler, and can get quite frigid, however the rewards can be quite amazing!
