Brown Trout
Lincoln, Michigan, is situated near the legendary Au Sable River, a world-class destination for brown trout fishing. The Au Sable's cold, clear waters and abundant insect life create an ideal environment for these prized fish. Spring and fall are considered peak seasons, with prolific hatches occurring throughout the summer as well. Dry fly fishing is incredibly popular, but nymphing and streamer fishing can also be highly effective. The river is divided into different sections, each with its own character and fishing regulations. Fly fishing only sections exist, so be sure to familiarize yourself with the rules before heading out. Consider hiring a local guide for your first trip to the Au Sable, as they can provide invaluable knowledge of the river's intricacies. Be prepared for wading; felt-soled boots are recommended for traction. The brown trout in the Au Sable are known for their wildness and challenging nature, providing a rewarding experience for anglers of all skill levels. Respect the river and practice catch and release to help preserve this incredible resource.
