I voted for Browns. The most exciting trout fishing I have ever done was a heavy caddis hatch just as it was getting too dark to see (good thing I had my headlamp). All the larger nocturnal browns woke up and started feeding on top. The takes were aggressive and I caught several fish in the 16-19 inch range and fat. These fish weren't beat up either like most of the fish in this very popular local river (take a wild guess). Haven't yet matched that kind of rush-- bruiser browns chasing down your fly, hitting it with a loud slpash, and trying to take your rod away from you. And not really knowing what you have untill you finally get it in and turn on your light (but knowing it's big).
