Brown Trout
While Gladstone might be better known for other species, don't discount the brown trout fishing, especially in the nearby rivers that feed into Little Bay de Noc. The Escanaba River, for example, can provide opportunities for hooking into some beautiful browns. Spring and fall are prime times, coinciding with trout migrations. Focus on areas with deeper pools, riffles, and undercut banks. Fly fishing with nymphs or streamers can be effective, as can casting small spinners or spoons. Be aware that some sections of these rivers may have specific regulations, so check the Michigan DNR guidelines before you go. Access to some of these areas can be challenging, often requiring some hiking. A good starting point is to research public access points along the Escanaba River State Forest. The brown trout in this region are known for their wild, native characteristics.
