Brown Trout
Similar to rainbow trout, brown trout fishing near Hanover, Michigan, requires a bit of exploration. Some of the smaller, colder streams and rivers in the surrounding area may hold brown trout, particularly those that connect to larger river systems. Focus on areas with deep pools, undercut banks, and woody debris, as these provide cover for brown trout. The fall spawning run is a prime time to target browns as they become more aggressive. Consider using streamers that imitate smaller baitfish or crayfish. Access to these streams can be challenging, often requiring some hiking. Local fishing clubs or fly shops may have more specific information about productive spots. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the brown trout population. Remember to consult Michigan DNR regulations for specific size and possession limits, as well as any gear restrictions.
