New Fork Brown
A watershed’s ability to provide sanctuary for both the angler and the trout is an important and often overlooked attribute of prime trout water. As more people learn about the outdoor opportunities in the high deserts of the western United States, the pursuit of solitude here can be a challenge. Fortunately, the West has an abundance of trout-filled waters that largely flow through public lands, and on some occasions you experience that riffle or run all to yourself. However, imagine a wild, freestone stream that has the fertile growth of a tailwater without the crowds! The New Fork River of the Green River drainage in Western Wyoming has these characteristics and more. The river flows over ninety percent of its length through vast private ranchlands, which protects the resident browns’, rainbows’ and cutthroats’ refuge from constant angling bombardment.
