Brown Trout
While Belleville Lake is the centerpiece of angling in Belleville, Michigan, targeting brown trout requires venturing to the Huron River and its tributaries. The Huron, particularly stretches upstream and downstream of Belleville, holds pockets of browns, especially during the spring and fall. These fish aren't native, but stockings, along with natural reproduction in some areas, maintain a fishable population. Spring (April-May) offers the best chance as browns move upstream to spawn, and fall (October-November) sees a similar pre-spawn migration. Access the Huron River from various parks and access points along Belleville Road and Haggerty Road. Wading can be productive, but be mindful of water levels, which can fluctuate rapidly. Browns in this stretch average 12-16 inches, with the occasional larger fish. Local tip: try drifting nightcrawlers or small spinners near submerged logs and undercut banks, prime holding spots for these elusive trout. Remember to check the current Michigan DNR fishing regulations for creel limits and size restrictions.
