Boyne City offers a fantastic opportunity to target brown trout in the northern Lower Peninsula. The Boyne River, flowing directly into Lake Charlevoix, is the primary draw. Its cool, clear waters provide ideal habitat, and the lake itself holds some truly impressive browns. Spring and fall are prime times, with spawning runs bringing larger fish into the river. Early morning and late evening are generally the most productive. Wading the river is popular, with several access points along River Road. Be mindful of private property. For boat anglers, trolling the shoreline of Lake Charlevoix near the river mouth can be very effective. Local browns are known for their aggressive takes, so be prepared for a fight! Consider using streamers or crankbaits that mimic the local forage fish. Also, be aware of seasonal regulations regarding catch-and-release and size limits on the Boyne River.
