Looking for Rainbow Trout in the eastern Upper Peninsula? De Tour Village provides a strategic location to target these beautiful fish. While Lake Huron itself is less known for Rainbows, the tributaries flowing into the St. Marys River, and the river itself, offer seasonal fishing opportunities, particularly for steelhead, the migratory form of Rainbow Trout. Spring and fall are prime times, coinciding with their spawning runs. Try fishing the rapids and pools of the smaller streams using nymphs or egg patterns. A good access point is along M-134 where it parallels some of these tributaries. Be mindful of private property and posted signage. Rainbows in this area can be quite wary, so using lighter line and a stealthy approach is crucial. While not as prolific as some other Michigan streams, the chance to hook into a powerful steelhead in this scenic setting makes it a rewarding experience.
