Brown Trout
While Ferrysburg itself doesn't have a direct brown trout fishery, its proximity to Lake Michigan and the Grand River makes it a viable base for targeting these fish. The key is understanding that you'll primarily be targeting migratory brown trout that enter the Grand River from Lake Michigan during their spawning runs, primarily in the fall. These fish can be found near the river mouth and in the lower stretches of the river. Trolling spoons or crankbaits in Lake Michigan near the river mouth is a common technique. In the river, try casting spoons, spinners, or drifting spawn bags. Access to the Grand River is excellent, with numerous boat launches and fishing piers. Be aware of the strong currents in the river, especially near the mouth. Brown trout fishing in this area can be hit-or-miss, depending on the timing of the runs and water conditions, but a successful trip can yield some impressive fish.
