Brown Trout
While Adrian, Michigan, isn't immediately known as a brown trout hotspot, the nearby rivers and streams that feed into the Raisin River offer surprisingly good opportunities. The key is targeting the cooler, well-oxygenated waters, especially during the spring and fall. Look for sections with overhanging vegetation, deeper pools, and rocky riffles; these areas provide cover and ideal habitat for browns. Spring (April-May) sees the best action as trout move upstream to spawn, and again in the fall (October-November) as they prepare for winter. Wading is the most common method, so be prepared with appropriate gear. A local tip: access to the river can be limited, so research public access points beforehand. Also, be aware of water levels – heavy rains can quickly make the river unfishable. Keep an eye out for stocked sections, as the DNR occasionally supplements the wild population, giving you a better chance of landing a decent-sized fish.
