Freshwater question?

[The Dad Fisherman]

Pretty much immediately......There are guys that pretty much chase the trucks around

[Raven]

they are definitely early morning and or early evening feeders
and prefer to feed off the bottom specifically worms
or power bait....

the other species will readily take a spotted brown rooster tail
spinner gold blades on sunny days and silver blades (spoons)
on rainy days... requiring many casts....
they smash the smallest rapala swimmer when trolling

I like fishing the browns at sundown. I have all kinds of smaller trout lures but usually end up with a small brass spoon like the Thomas rough rider or luhr jensen krocodile. I use a little lift fall action. Browns can definetly become educated and very difficult to catch.
