The brown trout (Salmo trutta)
The brown trout (Salmo trutta) is a fish native to Europe. They have been stocked all over the world...especially by the brits. Sometimes browns make sea runs in waters where they can get big enough to go to sea. Then they get much bigger and reach 10lbs plus. A Brown can live for 20 years and because of that can be a very smart, wary fish to catch. They feed mainly on insects, Mayflies, caddis and stoneflies until they reach about 16 inches and then become aggressive meat eaters. Frogs, baitfish and even mice become fair game for these fish. At this point they become extremely wary and often feed mainly at night. That makes them extremely challenging for the angler.
