Brown Trout
While Cadillac isn't the first place that comes to mind for Brown Trout fishing in Michigan, the nearby Manistee River and its tributaries offer some excellent opportunities. The 'Big Manistee' is renowned for its salmon and steelhead runs, but it also holds a healthy population of resident Brown Trout. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, especially during the salmon and steelhead runs when they feed on eggs and dislodged insects. Low-light conditions are your friend – fish early mornings, late evenings, or during overcast days. A practical tip: wading the Manistee can be tricky due to its depth and current, so exercise caution and consider using a wading staff. Focus on areas with structure, such as fallen logs, boulders, and deep pools. The Brown Trout in the Manistee can be quite large, with some reaching trophy size, so be prepared with appropriate gear and a sturdy net.
