Rainbow Trout
While Chesaning may not be the first place that comes to mind for rainbow trout, determined anglers can find stocked rainbows in designated sections of the Shiawassee River, particularly during the spring and fall stocking seasons. These stockings provide a put-and-take fishery for anglers looking for a quick trout fishing fix. Check the Michigan DNR stocking reports for the most up-to-date information on stocking locations and dates. The trout are often concentrated near the stocking points immediately after release, but they will disperse throughout the river over time. A popular tactic is to use small spinners, spoons, or live bait. Be aware that the river can be shallow in places, so wading is often necessary. Remember to check the regulations for any special rules or restrictions that may apply to the Shiawassee River.
