After watching this it time to make the trip up there and poke around. Good to know what works, I'm not sure about targeting rainbows though, I have a lot of love for those slabs of brown butter.
Y’all should think about filming at Dillon at ice off with jerk baits and tubes it’s super under rated as a fishery my buddy caught a 31 1/2 inch brown doing that last year!
Hey Chad, I fish most of the time at Horsetooth and have caught rainbow, cutbow and cutthroat but haven't caught a brown yet. I strictly fish from the bank so is there a particular lure you suggest using for browns? Great video as usual.
Given the extremely low numbers of brown trout that live in Horsetooth, targeting them will likely end up an exercise in futility. I can count on one hand the number of browns I've caught here in more than 20 years of fishing and 16+ years of guiding.
@@FishfulThinker Thanks for the quick response Chad. I didn't realize the population of browns was so low. I'm catching the heck out of the others so no complaints there. I'll just have to try other lakes or hope to get super lucky at Horsetooth. Next on the list is smallmouths.
The Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) look similar at first, but they are actually not closely related, the rainbow trout belongs to the pacific salmon and trout genus Oncorhynchus, while the brown trout belongs to the atlantic salmon and trout genus Salmo, despite the similarities between the genera Salmo and Oncorhynchus, these genera are not closely related and the similarities between the two genera are due to convergent evolution, they belong to entirely different tribes within the subfamily Salmoninae, Salmo belongs to the tribe Salmonini, which also includes the genera Salvelinus and Salvethymus, making atlantic trout and salmon (genus Salmo) more closely related to chars, while Oncorhynchus belongs to the tribe Oncorhynchini, which also includes the genera Brachymystax, Hucho, and Parahucho, making pacific trout and salmon (genus Oncorhynchus) more closely related to lenoks and taimens.

The managing biologist told us the same thing...it's on our list.
