If you want a true MONSTER brown, make a trip to the tributaries of Lake Erie and Ontario during the brown spawn. There you will see what a brown can truly become, A BEAST!!! [sly]
As for Utah monster browns, I would consider 27"+ a big brown. I have caughten them that size in all three of the rivers I previously listed...on the fly. Browns that big don't waste their time on aquatic insects, they want meat! I have caughten them on mice pattern flies topwater and large streamers.
Another, often overlooked lure for big browns, is the classic spoon. Silver and Gold have produced nice browns for me in both moving water and still water.
Good luck!!!
