Brown Trout
If you're chasing Brown Trout in Michigan, consider a trip to Pentwater. The area's proximity to Lake Michigan, coupled with the Pentwater River and nearby inland lakes, provides diverse opportunities. Spring and fall are prime times, as browns stage near the river mouth for spawning runs. Trolling the shoreline of Lake Michigan during these periods can be highly effective, especially near structure or where the river plume enters the lake. For river fishing, focus on deeper pools and runs, particularly after a rainfall when water levels rise. A local tip: check the Pentwater River's water levels before you go, as low flows can make navigation difficult. Also, be mindful of the regulations regarding tributary fishing, as some areas may have seasonal closures. The brown trout in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and impressive size, offering a thrilling challenge for anglers.
