Absolutely no one is going to share info on streams that have good fishing for resident browns. Those spots are way too few, way too tough to find, and all on private property.
But your timing is good, there are some browns off the piers right now. Cast Cleos or Shad Raps early in the morning and you'll find some, along with some salmon, lakers and dropback rainbows. Go farther east, toward Kingston / Wellington area, if you really want browns, since that's where they're mostly stocked..

Casting distance isn't that important, in fact most of the fish will be close to the pier. Don't cast out 90 degrees off the pier, cast out more like 45 degrees or even along the pier wall so you're in the strike zone longer.
Spinners work great but you gotta use a swivel or they'll twist your line like crazy. Spoons work great. Husky jerks will work. But seriously, a silver Shad Rap with a black back is just about impossible to beat. It's exactly the right size and shape, and it gets just deep enough.
The best fishing is from dawn till about 9 - 10 am. Once the sun starts penetrating deep into the water, they move deeper and farther offshore.

big vibrax spinners work really well off piers this time of year (I've even caught one in the middle of summer around noon). Gold and orange colours work good in my experience. Make sure you go early morning (6-7am) since that's the best time. Also I never have to use swivels. IMO casting distance is just as important. Try to use a set up that allows for maximum casting distance, while still changing your retrieve to cover all depths and angles

I can't say much about shoreline browns...although if you're within the vicinity, I have caught browns in Bluffer's park Marina on Mepps Black Fury. just look out for the shadows that follow your spinner...it could either be brown or pike and pike is close right now. Most of the guys I know fish that outflow of pickering powerplant for them on a boat...and this is a good time for them.
