Brown Trout
Targeting Brown Trout near Clawson, Michigan, requires a bit of a drive, but it's certainly doable. The Clinton River, while not directly in Clawson, has sections further upstream that are stocked with trout and hold some resident browns. The best time to pursue them is during the spring and fall, particularly after a fresh stocking. Focus on areas with deeper pools, undercut banks, and riffles – classic trout habitat. Wading is often required, so be sure to wear appropriate gear and check water levels before heading out. A local tip is to try small spinners or nymphs drifted through the riffles. Access points can be found along various parks and road crossings along the Clinton River, but be sure to check local regulations regarding fishing licenses and permitted areas. The Brown Trout in this area are typically stocked fish, but some holdovers can grow to respectable sizes, offering a rewarding angling experience.
