Brown Trout
While not as widely known as other Michigan destinations, East Tawas offers a unique opportunity to target brown trout in the Au Sable River system, which is a short drive from town. The Au Sable is famous for its 'flies only' sections, but there are plenty of areas where conventional tackle is permitted. The best time to target browns here is during the spring and fall, especially during the Hex hatch in June and the brown trout spawning run in late October and November. Focus your efforts in the deeper pools and runs, particularly those with woody debris providing cover. A practical tip: check the river flow levels before you go, as high water can make wading difficult and affect the fishing. Access is readily available at numerous public access points along the river, and local fly shops can provide up-to-date information on hatches and fishing conditions. The brown trout in the Au Sable are known for their size and wariness, so stealth and presentation are key.
