Brown Trout
While Caro, Michigan, isn't widely known for its brown trout fishing, determined anglers can find some opportunities in the Cass River system. The key is targeting the colder, well-oxygenated stretches of the river, particularly upstream from Caro. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for brown trout, as they are more active during these periods. Look for trout holding in deeper pools, near undercut banks, and around submerged logs. Fly fishing is a popular method, with nymphs and streamers being effective choices. Spin anglers can also have success with small spinners and spoons. Access can be challenging in some areas, requiring anglers to hike along the riverbank. Be aware of private property and respect landowner rights. Also, be sure to check the Michigan DNR fishing regulations for specific rules regarding trout fishing in the Cass River. While the brown trout population may not be as robust as in other parts of the state, the chance to catch one of these beautiful fish in a relatively secluded setting makes it a worthwhile endeavor.
