Livin' The Wildlife: Spawning Brown Trout

Each fall, brown trout spawn in the mountain creeks and rivers across Colorado. This video provides an intimate look at these fish in Clear Creek near Georgetown.

The transition from the closeup of the trout into the fall canopy was amazing :)

How cool I've been catching tons of Brown's lately. These fish dont die after spawning so thats nice to know they will be here next yr to. It really sucks that Cheesman dam is owned by Denver Water none of the Kokanee salmon start spawning yet but the mountain closes down I think tomorrow what a waste of fish

Each fall I see people fishing the spawn and stepping on the redds. Thanks for bringing attention to this important issue.

[@slowwaterdrifting]

And cue all the instagram photos of dudes holding spawning colored up browns clearly raked off redds. Brutal

That’s awesome. Y’all wanna try helping out with getting a reproducing trout population in fountain creek?

Thanks, that was beautiful; like the fall color leaves on trees! 🙂🎣🐟🐟🎣🙂

You should have a closed season when fish are spawning, like we do in the UK. Most rivers usually close November to February to allow fish to spawn and recover.

Please please please make a fishing etiquette video. There are so many new people here that are learning how to fish and have no etiquette.

[@puprilla]

Like?

[@habaceeba]

Absolutely agree. That should go hand in hand with general outdoor etiquette as well. Everyone should be required to take an outdoor stewardship class before strapping on boots. I'm tired of the garbage.
