Why do you hate fly fishing? I have caught more browns and fish in general on the fly than a spin rod. Bigger ones too. Check out the show those trout thread. Some monsters in there.

you can use weights or floats to present flies if you prefer spinning and baitcasting rods

I too have had the most luck catching trout, including browns, with a fly rod in a stream. However, in a lake you might be better off spinfishing, simply because it will be easier for you to cover a large area. Trout in lakes can be hard to locate in my experience, and they spend a lot of time in deeper waters that you will have trouble reaching with flies.

Of course, you can never go wrong with earthworms/nightcrawlers. Brown trout love them just as much as any fish afaik. As far as lures go, the rule for trout is keep it small, and avoid gaudy colors. Small spinners (like a mepps bucktail) and spoons (castmaster, for example) and jigs will most likely be your best bet. Minnow plugs/crankbaits are probably worth trying too, but I would prefer the other options for trout.

Take a nice live minnow and shove a hook through its back, then dangle it under a bobber.
