Browns on a spinning reel, early summer pond

gorgeousviolette

Hi guys,

I am going to fish at Savoy Mountain, MA in a few days. How would you suggest to fish for browns in a small stocked pond at this time of the year? I am not sure if this is classified as summer, which then I'd expect the browns to stay in cooler, deeper waters. But it hasn't been that hot here in Mass.

Should I drop to a 4lb test (leader) as well? Lures: Mepps, Rooster Tails? Or should I have fun with some shiners?

Are Brookies fished the same way?

I will be bringing a canoe.

Thanks for your help.

Shiners might be a good bet, and you should look into some Kastmasters or Krocodiles. They're supposed to work well on lakes - just try to match the colors with what they're eating, but silver or gold seem to work pretty well.
