Title: In search of browns...
Post by: MooMoo Outdoors on October 31, 2017, 12:19:51 PM
Matt (racer414) took me out to one of his secret spots up in the mountains for some brown trout action past weekend. After driving on a gravel and dirt path (semi off-road) for a while, we hand launched our kayaks by climbing down a long, steep dirt trail. It was already an adventure even before we got on the water. Fishing was slower than normal (per Matt) but I did manage to land my first brown trout on a kayak.

Glad you got at least one brown! I think it needs to cool off more before it really turns on

Very nice video, Moo!  I smiled as you paddled and hooked up.  Good vibes!

Late Fall is the season for Brown's.  Caples Lake (Carson Pass), Edison Lake (e. of Fresno) and Lake McCloud (McCloud, Siskiyou Co.) are three lakes with nice Browns.

I fished Lewis Lake (s. Yellowstone NP, WY) in August and had non-stop Brown Trout action.  Most fish were 14-15" and one 19.5" - nice campsites and easy launch at lake. (While there, fish the mornings for easy to catch Yellowstone Lake 19-22" Cutthroats  only ~30min. from Lewis Lake).
