Brown Trout
While Coloma, Michigan, isn't primarily known for its trout fishing, the nearby Paw Paw River offers a chance to tangle with brown trout. The river is stocked annually with brown trout, providing a put-and-take fishery. The best time to target brown trout is in the spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler. Focus on areas with deeper pools, riffles, and log jams. Drifting nymphs or small streamers through these areas can be effective. Small spinners can also produce strikes. A local access point is the Watervliet Park, which provides access to the river. Be aware that the river can be shallow in some areas, so wading is often necessary. Also, check the Michigan DNR stocking reports to see when and where trout have been recently stocked. The brown trout in the Paw Paw River typically range in size from 10 to 16 inches, but larger fish are occasionally caught.
