Trolling summer Brown trout

(1/1)

craveman85:
I usually fish lake trout in adirondack lakes. Several of them are supposed to also be home to Brown trout. However in my 5 years of trolling experience I've never caught a Brown from a boat. Or a rainbow but I don't really fish rainbow lakes. Where should I be targeting the browns?  Same lures as lake trout?  I use spoons, spin glows, rapalas, and crawler harnesses. I've got 2 dipsy diver rods, a downrigger that I usually don't run deeper than the thermocline, and other rods I use as flat lines or off the downrigger. How deep do they go in summer? Do they hug the bottom?  Most of my lake trout are caught from 45-60' down right now. Above the thermocline. In as much as 100' of water. I think my deepest lake trout I've caught was 70'  I've been slaying the browns in streams this year but need some help with the lakes.
