Brown Trout
While Rothbury isn't directly on a major trout stream, anglers willing to travel a short distance can find excellent Brown Trout fishing in the Pere Marquette River. This renowned river, located within an hour's drive, is famous for its wild brown trout population. Fall is a particularly productive time, as brown trout become more aggressive in preparation for spawning. Fly fishing is the most popular method, with streamers and nymphs being effective choices. A local tip: focus on the deeper runs and pools, especially those with woody debris, as brown trout often hold in these areas. The Pere Marquette's brown trout are known for their size and fight, offering a challenging and rewarding experience. Be aware of special regulations, including catch-and-release sections and gear restrictions. Access to the river is available at several public access points, but be prepared for crowds, especially during peak season.
