>>1408083Fish shallow, fertile water early in the day. I'm talking like 5 FoW flat if the lake has one. If there is a weedline, even better. They come cruising up in small groups in the early morning for feeding then head deeper later in the day and feed less. A lot of times you can sight fish them, which is extremely fun. Shoot for typical structures during the day like deep points or dropoffs, especially rocky ones if you have browns as they feed on crayfish.
Browns act almost like walleye and feed mostly on minnows and crayfish. Rainbows are weird as fuck and can do anything from being a normal predator to swimming around just under the ice in 100 feet of water and feeding on plankton. That might just be because the rainbows in my area are mostly stocked while the browns are wild, though.
