Brown Trout
Brown trout fishing near Shepherd, Michigan, can be a rewarding experience, especially if you're willing to explore the smaller, lesser-known streams. While the area isn't a renowned brown trout destination, the Chippewa River and its tributaries offer pockets of suitable habitat. These streams, with their cool, clear water and gravel bottoms, can hold wild or stocked brown trout. Spring and fall are the ideal times to target them, as water temperatures are more favorable for trout activity. Fly fishing is a popular method, with nymphs and dry flies being effective. Small spinners and spoons can also produce results. Access can be a challenge, as much of the land is privately owned. Look for designated public access points and always respect private property. The brown trout in this area tend to be wary, so stealth and careful presentation are key. Focus on areas with good cover, such as undercut banks, overhanging vegetation, and submerged logs. Browns here aren't generally huge, but their elusiveness makes catching them all the more satisfying.
