Brown Trout
If you're looking for a classic Michigan brown trout stream, Kent City is a great place to start. The area is crisscrossed by several smaller, cold-water tributaries of the Muskegon River that hold surprisingly good populations of browns. These aren't trophy waters, but you can expect to find plenty of 10-14 inch fish, with the occasional larger specimen. Spring and fall are prime times, especially during the mayfly hatches in May and the pre-spawn run in October/November. Wading is the typical method, so be prepared for slippery conditions and bring your wading boots. A local tip: focus on the areas where spring creeks feed into the main streams, as these areas tend to hold cooler, more oxygenated water, especially during the warmer months. Also, be sure to check the Michigan DNR fishing report for any special regulations or closures on specific streams.
