Brown Trout

to my knowledge you can get early spawning browns as early as mid november... these early spawners start coming in september. drop backs as late as february... you can then get them again as early as late april coming in behind small mouths... the lake is a hole other ball game. once the ice breaks in march on the lake (if it brakes in march) browns are hot in shallow water on the lake. remember though, some years tend to be better than others for browns... they are typically hard to figure out. i've even seen browns in the summer time that were lake run. i'm also interested to see if more browns start following the increase of atlantics...oswego on the other hand has many browns that congregate together in more concentrated amounts than the salmon... in my opinion for baits flies or tactics... blue or white egg sacs, beads, white estaz, glo bugs in varieties of colors... i find white, blue or orange seperately or combined in any basic fly, eggs, beeds or even maribou jigs works the best

Thanks guys-needed that-had no idea the browns are there about the time I used to stop fishing.

Will be up early in the week for deer and browns- Good luck to all you guys who are going up and sorry bout that for the rest.

Try some under cut banks/cover. I have gotten some nice browns early and very few in the afternoon. I have noticed that they tend to hold real tight to cover. Hey you never know. Good luck man.
