Brown Trout
Chasing Brown Trout near Hersey, Michigan, puts you in the heart of some excellent cold-water fishing. The Muskegon River, particularly its upper reaches near Hersey, is known for its healthy population of wild and stocked brown trout. These fish thrive in the cool, well-oxygenated waters. Spring and fall are particularly productive, especially during the mayfly hatches. Wading is a popular method, allowing you to target specific runs and riffles. Consider using dry flies or nymphs to match the hatch. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery. A local tip: the stretch of river just north of Hersey Road offers good public access and consistent fishing. Be aware of private property boundaries and respect the local landowners.
