Brown Trout
Don't let Grant's reputation for bass fishing fool you; there are opportunities for brown trout in the surrounding area as well. The Muskegon River, while better known for salmon and steelhead, holds a resident population of brown trout, particularly in its upper reaches. Spring and fall are the prime seasons, with cooler water temperatures triggering increased feeding activity. Focus on areas with deeper pools, undercut banks, and woody debris, which provide cover for these trout. Fly fishing is a popular technique, with nymph patterns and streamers being particularly effective. Access to the river is available at several points along M-37, but be prepared for some walking to reach the less-pressured sections. A local tip: try fishing during periods of low light, such as dawn and dusk, when the trout are more likely to be active. While the browns in the Muskegon River may not be trophy-sized, they offer a rewarding challenge for anglers seeking a change of pace from bass fishing.
