Brown Trout
If you're chasing brown trout near Elberta, Michigan, the Betsie River is your primary target. This river is known for its runs of migratory browns, particularly during the fall spawning season (October-November). While resident browns are present year-round, the larger migratory fish are what draw anglers. Focus your efforts on the deeper pools and runs, especially those with structure like fallen logs or undercut banks. A local tip is to pay attention to water levels; after a rain, the river can become turbid, so wait a day or two for it to clear slightly. Wading is the most common method of fishing the Betsie, but be aware of private property along the banks. The DNR maintains several access points along the river, including near Homestead Dam. The brown trout in the Betsie can be quite wary, so use stealth and natural presentations.
