The river is known for its excellent fishing and recreational opportunities, thanks to its clear water, rocky bottom, and healthy populations of brook, brown, and rainbow trout. Seasonally, the river experiences high flows in the spring and early summer due to snowmelt and rainfall, while low flows occur in late summer and fall. Although there are several dams on the river, they do not significantly impact the flow or hydrology of the river. An interesting fact about the Brule River is that it was once a popular destination for wealthy anglers, including several U.S. presidents, who would travel to the area by train to fish for trophy trout.
