[black][size 3]Bows and Browns are somewhat different, but they are still basically trout. You can get both on just about the same tackle and gear depending on your area. Tactics can be similar as well - with some adjustments.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Here are some "over-generalizations" [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]In my area, bows tend to feed a little higher up in the water column and more during the day. Browns on the other hand, hunker down lower and feed more at night. Of course this depends on weather, season, local food availability.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]I use light weight gear for most trout. 2-6 lb mono will do. Or if I am fly fishing, a 4-6X tippit.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[size 3][black]Keep in mind, if the body of water you are fishing holds really big fish, you might want to up-size a little. [/black][/size]
