Brown Trout
While Tawas City isn't the first place that comes to mind for brown trout, the Au Sable River, a short drive inland, is a renowned brown trout fishery. The Au Sable's cold, clear waters and diverse insect life create ideal conditions for these prized fish. Spring and fall are the best times to target browns, with the hex hatch in June being a particularly exciting time for fly anglers. Focus on areas with structure, such as fallen logs and undercut banks. Wading is a popular way to fish the Au Sable, but be mindful of changing water levels and slippery rocks. A local tip: Consider hiring a guide for your first trip to the Au Sable; they can provide invaluable knowledge of the river and its trout. The Au Sable is known for its healthy population of wild brown trout, with some reaching impressive sizes. Remember to practice catch and release to help preserve this valuable resource.
