Going after large Brown Trout?
There is a lake southwest of where I live that is renowned for its large record setting Brown Trout. I’ve decided to take a trip there this fall and try my luck. Here’s my questions. What type of equipment do I need? Here is the rigs that I have.
1. Fly Rod – 8′6″ with 6wt. line. I caught tons of hatchery size Rainbows on this in both rivers and lakes.
2. Spinning Rod – 5′ UL with 4lb mono. Same as above, lots of hatchery size Rainbows.
3. Spinning Rod – 6′6″ M with 8lb mono for Bass fishing. Caught hundreds of 2 and 3 lbs. Bass on this rig.
Will any of these work on 20+ pound Brown Trout? The locals call them ‘footballs’. All the pictures and information I get are about the fish and not what they were caught on. The locals claim that to catch the big Brown’s you need to night fish using scuds or midges close to the surface. During the day to jig the deep water.
They will all work be sure to adjust drag so the line or tippet does not break. Locals are most likely using downriggers in deep part of lake with streamers that is hard to do without a boat, I highly suggest you hire a local guide and tell me you will bonus him X dolars for a 20 pounder, it will save you much trial and error etc etc
