Hi All,

In October our Brown's spawn. I would love your opinion on
the following. But first some data on my stream.

There is only about a half a mile open to the public.
At the top of it is a broken down dam that is a barrier
to migration (unless they can jump ~ 40 feet straight up).
Below the dam are lots of spots with sand and gravel.

Below the half mile, there is about five miles of downstream
that is private that you can not get to for wild ones to
migrate from. I have verified from several source that
this stretch does have a healthy Brown population.

Questions:

1) do Brown migrate upstream to spawn? If no, don't
bother with the rest of these questions.

2) To get them to strike, am I
a) trying to feed them, and/or
b) trying to **** them off?

3) do they leave after they spawn? If so, is
it immediate, or do I have a bit of time to
get at them?

4) are their spawning revs close to feeding lies?
Or should I abandon my know lies and go for the gravel?
If gravel, what should I target?

5) what flies would you use under these circumstances?

Many thanks,
-T
