Rainbow Trout
While not as widely known as some other species in the Cheboygan area, you can find rainbow trout fishing opportunities in some of the local rivers and streams that feed into Lake Huron. The Black River, north of Cheboygan, is one such option. These streams are typically small and require a stealthy approach. Spring and fall are the best times to target rainbow trout, as they migrate upstream to spawn. Fly fishing is a popular and effective method, using nymphs, dry flies, or streamers. Spin fishing with small spinners or spoons can also produce results. Be aware that many of these streams are subject to special regulations, so be sure to check the Michigan DNR fishing guide before you go. Access can be limited in some areas, so scouting beforehand is recommended. Remember to practice catch-and-release to help maintain the trout population. A local tip: focus on areas with deep pools and undercut banks, as these provide cover for the trout. Also, be mindful of water levels, as low water can make fishing difficult.
