If you're looking for a true trophy brown up there your best bet is to head further west, the SR just doesn't get the #s of browns that Oz and the creeks out near Rochester and west do 
This is one of about 30-40 me and a buddy landed out of one trib one day last November. We actually saw a legit run of browns which is something I can't say I ever saw before with a steady push of fish blowing up and by us most of the day 
That guy went just under 14# by the time I got to get him on a scale the next morning and took a nightcrawler fished weightless with no float which is something I almost never see done up on the L.O. tribs 
I'm pretty sure this one came from the same place you refer to:-
I have a bunch more pics, mostly Browns, but a nice mix of Steelhead too from our trip in January but it would be to much work to fade out the background and to post them would be a dead give away. I'll take a trophy Brown anytime it wants to land on my line but I'm not on a hunt for them. I'd like a 30" Walleye and 25 lb Muskie and 25 lb King first. I got my 25 lb Striper last year.
17" Brown on a pheasant tail. Now I need to catch one in the Salmon river twice this size.
I guess the point of my original post was a 17" Brown in NJ is a decent (menza menz) size fish but I want to catch bigger ones. NJ has some nice Browns, maybe even a few in the 7-8 lb range (Delaware river maybe), but not nothing like up north! Too BAD not closer to home!!!
