Rainbow Trout
If you're looking for a less-traveled spot to chase Rainbow Trout in southern Michigan, Bronson offers some surprisingly good opportunities. The area's smaller creeks and rivers, like the Prairie River and its tributaries, are the key. These aren't big water systems, so stealth and light tackle are essential. Spring and fall are prime times, with the trout being most active during these cooler periods. Early morning and late evening are often the most productive. A local tip: access to the Prairie River can be found near covered bridge, but be mindful of private property and respect landowners' rights. The Rainbows here are often wild or holdovers from stocking, so they can be a bit more challenging to catch than their hatchery-raised cousins. Focus on riffles, runs, and undercut banks where trout can find refuge and food. Small spinners, dry flies, and nymphs are all effective depending on the conditions.
