Brown Trout
While Carsonville may not be the first place that springs to mind for brown trout fishing, the Black River offers a surprising opportunity for anglers seeking these elusive fish. The river's cool, clear waters, particularly upstream from Carsonville, provide suitable habitat. Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) are the best times to target brown trout, as they become more active during these periods, especially during spawning runs in the fall. Focus on areas with deeper pools, overhanging banks, and submerged woody debris. A local tip: Try using small spinners or live bait, such as nightcrawlers or minnows, fished near the bottom. Wading is possible in many sections, but be cautious of slippery rocks and changing water levels. Remember to check the Michigan DNR trout regulations for the Black River, as there may be specific size and gear restrictions in place. The trout here are not heavily pressured, offering a chance for a rewarding experience.
