Brown Trout
While not as abundant as rainbow trout, Brown Trout can be found in the Cass River and its tributaries near Mayville. Targeting them requires some dedication and knowledge of the river system. Fall and spring are the most productive times, especially during their spawning runs. Look for deeper pools and areas with overhanging vegetation, as brown trout are more reclusive than rainbows. Fly fishing with streamers or nymphs can be effective, as can small spinners and crankbaits. Access points along the Cass River are available at various road crossings, but be mindful of private property. Brown trout in this area tend to be wild, so handle them with care if you plan to release them. Be sure to check the Michigan DNR website for current regulations on brown trout fishing, including size and creel limits.
