Brown Trout
Fennville isn't the first place that comes to mind for Brown Trout fishing in Michigan, but the nearby tributaries to Lake Michigan offer a chance to tangle with these fish, especially during their fall and spring runs. While the Kalamazoo River itself isn't ideal for trout, smaller streams like the Black River (south of Fennville) can hold migratory Browns. These fish are often chasing spawning salmon and steelhead. Focus your efforts during the fall salmon run or the spring steelhead run, using techniques like drifting spawn bags, casting spinners, or swinging streamers. Access to these smaller streams can be limited, so do your research and respect private property. Be sure to check the Michigan DNR fishing regulations for specific rules and restrictions on these tributaries. The Brown Trout in this area can be surprisingly large, often exceeding 10 pounds, making for an exciting fishing experience.
