Ok I know I am asking a lot but what would be the ideal gear set up for browns. Rod, reel, line kinda stuff. Possibly lures and bait? Lastly method. Keep in mind I am a bank fisherman for the most part. Thanks.

GungasUncle said:They also like leeches and crawfish and other sources of protien. Since real leeches are illegal to use in oregon - gotta go with fakes. Soft plastics, flies, and jigs will be needed here. Crawfish can be fished with (dead, not alive), or you can use crawfish imitation flies and jigs, or crank baits.
Throbbit _Shane said:Lots of people use the Tasmanian Devil lure for them. Especially at Lemolo and other near by lakes.

Unfortunately, it looks like Rapala no longer makes them (according to their website).radiation said:What worked the best for me when I lived in Central Oregon was a 4" floating Rapala in the frog pattern. This was strickly in the rivers and streams. They used to attack it like a fat kid on cake!:thumb:
I haven't tried the bobber/jig setup yet, but I have been thinking of giving it a try on the Deschutes stretch from Bend to Wikiup.hydropsyche said:Another option is bobber and jig. I fish nymphs under a thingamabobber with a fly rod from the bank and do pretty good. A little green tungsten bead head nymph around size 16-20 accounts for most of my fish around there from late June till August, around fall I like streamers use rapalas if fishing gear.
