Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout fishing near Eau Claire, Michigan, requires a bit of a drive, but it's worth the effort. While Eau Claire itself doesn't have readily accessible trout streams, the nearby Dowagiac River system, and some of the smaller tributaries of the St. Joseph River, offer opportunities for stocked and wild rainbows. Spring and fall are the peak seasons. Spring brings the excitement of the stocking season, while fall sees the trout becoming more active as water temperatures cool. Look for deeper pools, undercut banks, and areas with good oxygenation. Fly fishing with nymphs and streamers is popular, but spin anglers can also find success with small spinners and spoons. A helpful tip: check the Michigan DNR stocking reports to find recently stocked locations. Also, be aware that some sections of the Dowagiac River are subject to special regulations, so consult the fishing guide before you go. The rainbows in this area are typically smaller, but they are beautiful and feisty fish.
