Brown Trout
Lyons, Michigan, offers some surprisingly good Brown Trout fishing, particularly in the Looking Glass River. What makes this area unique is the river's relatively small size and its accessibility. While not known for trophy browns, the river holds a healthy population of fish in the 10-16 inch range, making it ideal for fly fishing or light tackle spin fishing. Spring and fall are prime times, as the browns become more active with the cooler water temperatures. Focus on areas with good cover, such as fallen logs, undercut banks, and deeper pools. A local tip: access the river via the public access point near the Lyons-Muir Historical Society. Be mindful of private property and wade carefully, as the river bottom can be uneven in places. The Looking Glass browns are known for their vibrant colors, especially during spawning season, so catch and release is encouraged to maintain the health of the fishery.
