Brown Trout
For brown trout anglers, Newaygo, Michigan, offers some excellent opportunities, particularly in the Muskegon River. The stretch below Croton Dam is a renowned tailwater fishery, known for its consistent water temperatures and abundant insect life, creating ideal conditions for brown trout. While the river is heavily fished, it consistently produces quality browns. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times to fish, with prolific hatches occurring in the spring and pre-spawn activity in the fall. Nymphing, streamer fishing, and dry fly fishing can all be effective, depending on the time of year and the hatch activity. Check local fly shops for current hatch information and fly recommendations. Access is relatively good, with several public access points along the river. Wading can be challenging due to the river's depth and current, so exercise caution. The brown trout in the Muskegon River are known for their size and fight, making it a premier destination for brown trout anglers in Michigan. Be sure to check the regulations regarding catch-and-release and gear restrictions.
