Rainbow Trout
While Alma, Michigan, isn't a renowned trout fishing hotspot, the Pine River and its tributaries offer some opportunities for Rainbow Trout, particularly through stocking programs. The Michigan DNR stocks trout in certain sections of the Pine River, so checking their stocking reports is crucial for planning your trip. Spring (April-May) immediately following stocking and fall (September-October) when the water cools down are the best times to target these fish. Look for deeper pools and runs where the trout will hold. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms or salmon eggs are effective. Access can be limited in some areas, so research public access points beforehand. Be aware that the Pine River can be relatively shallow in places, requiring a stealthy approach. The trout in this area tend to be smaller, but the chance to catch a beautiful rainbow in a less-pressured environment is definitely worth the effort.
