Brown Trout
While Shoreham, Michigan, is primarily known for its proximity to Lake Michigan, don't overlook the potential for targeting brown trout in the nearby Paw Paw River. This river system, though smaller than some of the state's more famous trout streams, receives some migratory brown trout from Lake Michigan, particularly during the fall spawning run. Focus your efforts on areas with deeper pools, undercut banks, and woody debris, as these provide cover for trout. Streamers and spinners can be effective for targeting these migratory browns. Spring, after the ice melts, can also be a good time to find trout moving upstream. A local tip: Check the Michigan DNR fishing regulations for the Paw Paw River, as there may be specific rules regarding gear restrictions and catch-and-release regulations. Access to the river can be found at various road crossings and public access points. Be prepared to wade, as the Paw Paw River is best fished on foot.
