Brown Trout
While Frankenmuth might be famous for its Bavarian charm, it also offers a chance to chase brown trout in the Cass River. The river is stocked with brown trout, creating a unique opportunity in this part of Michigan. Spring and fall are the best times to target these fish, as they are more active in cooler water temperatures. Focus on areas with deeper pools, undercut banks, and submerged logs. A local tip is to pay attention to insect hatches and match your flies accordingly. The Cass River has a decent mayfly population, so having a selection of mayfly patterns is a good idea. Public access is available at various points along the river, but be mindful of private property. Brown trout in the Cass River can be selective, so using light line and natural presentations is often key to success. Consider using small spinners or spoons as well, especially in faster-moving water.
