Ive never fished for Brown Trout or caught one. Does anyone have any tips they would like to share like, best time to fish for them, best baits to use, best spots to try, and anything else youd like to share. I plan on going Thurs, Im hoping to catch my 1st one.

They do go for dry/wet flies on moving water. Not sure how successful they would be for stockies in a lake though--but hey--you never know! But they can be aggressive, so you might take TD's tip and try the Thomas Bouyant to get strikes.
That said, browns can also be spooky and leader shy. Keep the line small and splashes to a minimum.

I agree with all the above texts. Rainbows, goldens, cutts, and brookies you fish for.......browns are hunted.

Oh man--that's a GREAT IDEA! Forgot about those. Streamers can be deadly! You could probably fish a heavily weighted one, or one with some split shot about 6" - 12" up the leader, with spinning tackle on 2# test, and stripped/reeled back rapidly.
And yeah--hunting them--that's it exactly!

I don't imagine they care much for powerbait...
How about power worms? The white ones especially seem deadly at Corona.
I have yet to catch a trout at Corona with any lure. I have caught exactly one on a minijig.
All that ever seems to work for me is powerbait and plastic trout worms. That's rainbows, though.
