Brown Trout
Targeting brown trout near North Muskegon means focusing on the Muskegon River. This river is renowned for its brown trout fishery, with some truly impressive fish being caught each year. While spring and fall are popular times for salmon and steelhead, savvy anglers know that brown trout fishing can be productive throughout the year. Night fishing with large streamers can produce trophy-sized browns, especially during the warmer months. During the day, focus on deeper runs and pools, using tactics like nymphing or casting crankbaits. The Muskegon River's water temperatures remain relatively cool, providing suitable habitat for browns even in summer. Be aware of the regulations regarding bait restrictions and size limits, which can vary depending on the section of the river. Access can be found at several public access points along the river, including those near Newaygo and Croton.
