Brown Trout
Targeting Brown Trout near Saline, Michigan, presents a unique challenge as the immediate area is not prime trout habitat. However, a short drive to the west or northwest will lead you to some stocked trout streams. The Huron River, upstream from Ann Arbor, receives some trout stocking, as do some of the smaller tributaries. Spring and fall are the most productive times for trout fishing, coinciding with stocking schedules and cooler water temperatures. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait (worms or crickets) are effective for these stocked trout. Fly fishing can also be productive, especially with nymph patterns. A local tip: Check the Michigan DNR stocking reports to find out when and where trout have been recently stocked. Access to these streams can be limited, so research public access points beforehand. The brown trout in these streams are typically smaller, in the 8-12 inch range, but offer a fun fishing experience in a scenic setting.
