Brown Trout
Brown trout fishing near McBain can be a rewarding experience, particularly if you're willing to explore the smaller, less pressured streams in the area. The Middle Branch River, a tributary of the Muskegon, is one such option. While not as famous as some of Michigan's other brown trout rivers, it holds a decent population of wild browns. The best times to fish are spring and fall, especially during the streamer bite. Try targeting deeper pools and runs with natural-looking streamers. A local tip: pay attention to water temperature. Browns become less active in warmer water, so fish early or late in the day during the summer months. Access can be challenging in some areas due to thick vegetation, so be prepared to do some bushwhacking. Wading is the most common method, but be cautious of slippery rocks and deep holes. The brown trout in this area average 8-14 inches, but larger fish are possible, particularly during the spawning runs.
