Brown's usually like to hit small orange, goldish flashy baits, such as spinners. In streams I catch alot of browns of of gold Panther Martain spiners. Also in rivers and lake I like to use orange Rapalas.

My record is 11lb 8 ounces. The best thing to throw is some kind of flashy cranking minow. Use a shallow diving crank instead of spinners for bigger trout. Flies are fun, but I like bigger fish.

When fishing for browns in early spring, I like to use a small, solid colored spinner and fish it by casting it up stream and using the force of the current to retrieve your lure. You will have the best luck an hour before sunrise and an hour after sunset.

Brown trout living in the sea are cought @ low tide comming on to high within 1 mile of the sea in brackash fresh water outlets. They are skiddish and must be approached with caution. They perfer crabs and sand eels and can approach up to 8 lbs.
