Brown Trout
While Clarksville might not be the first place that comes to mind for Brown Trout fishing in Michigan, the Flat River offers a surprisingly decent fishery, especially for anglers willing to put in some effort. The river is stocked annually with browns, and some holdover fish reach impressive sizes. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, with cooler water temperatures triggering increased activity. Focus your efforts on the deeper pools and runs, especially those with good cover like fallen logs or undercut banks. A key to success here is stealth. The Flat River is relatively clear, so use lighter lines and natural-looking baits or flies. Early mornings and late evenings are prime times. A popular access point is near the covered bridge on Whites Bridge Road. This area offers easy wading access to some productive stretches of the river. The browns here can be finicky, so experiment with different presentations until you find what they're hitting. Be prepared for some smaller fish, but the chance of hooking into a trophy-sized brown makes it worth the effort.
