Brown Trout
Roscommon, Michigan, nestled in the heart of trout country, offers exceptional brown trout fishing opportunities. The Au Sable River, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and diverse insect hatches, is a prime location. The South Branch of the Au Sable, in particular, is a blue-ribbon trout stream, ideal for fly fishing. Spring and fall are generally considered the best times to target browns, as they become more active during these cooler periods. In the spring, look for rising fish during the Hendrickson and Caddis hatches. During the fall spawning run, target areas with gravel bottoms. A local tip: Access to the river is plentiful via numerous state forest campgrounds and access sites along M-72 and County Road 487. Be sure to check the Michigan DNR fishing regulations for specific rules regarding gear restrictions and catch-and-release areas, as the Au Sable is carefully managed to maintain its exceptional trout population.
