The Brown Trout are not as common as their cousin the Rainbow Trout. They live in the same places and eat the same foods as the Rainbow but they are much harder to catch. They are usually found in cooler water river and lakes although they are found in harbors and some are even found in the ocean. Browns have different shades of brown sides, from deep brown to tan to pale yellow. They are sprinkled with black, brown and red spots on their sides and gills. The average size for a Brown Trout is 1 to 2 pounds. but they can weigh as much as the world record of 40 pounds. A catch of over four pounds is a real prize. Browns are determined fighters that can display some wild jumps when hooked.
