Brown Trout
Stanwood, Michigan, offers some underappreciated brown trout fishing opportunities in the Muskegon River and its tributaries. These waters, while not as famous as some of Michigan's blue-ribbon trout streams, hold a population of wild and stocked brown trout that can provide a thrilling challenge for anglers. The best times to target browns are spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler. Low-light conditions, such as dawn and dusk, are particularly productive. Consider fly fishing with streamers or nymphs that imitate local forage, or spin fishing with small crankbaits or spinners. A local tip: Stealth is key; brown trout are notoriously wary, so approach your fishing spots quietly and avoid making sudden movements. Wading can provide excellent access to the river, but be mindful of water levels and currents. While trophy-sized browns are rare, the chance to catch a beautiful wild fish in a scenic setting makes fishing for brown trout near Stanwood a worthwhile endeavor.
