Re: Where are the brown trout?
I personally prefer to fish for brookies or Browns over rainbows. These two species are more aggressive and likely to hit plugs and other lures (I've caught my share of rainbows to over 9 lbs on jigs and plugs, but by far the action isn't like plugging a stream full of beautiful brooks and Browns). In my experience Rainbows are more inclined to hit Inline spinners, power bait or meal worms. Fly fisherman do well with the bows as well. I can't use meal worms due an allergy when I touch them and power bait just seems fake (was ok when I was a kid). I think it's time to start restocking our state fish, the Brooktrout. I'd also love to see Browns reintroduced. That's my two cents.
