Rainbow Trout

Rainbow Trout

Various

Fruitport, Michigan, offers some surprisingly good rainbow trout fishing, particularly in the spring and fall as they migrate up the local tributaries of the Grand River. While the Grand itself can hold rainbows, the smaller creeks like Spring Lake Drain and Crockery Creek are key areas to target. These fish are often lake-run steelhead that enter the streams to spawn or feed. Spring is prime time, from March through May, as the fish are actively spawning. Fall, from September through November, can also be productive as they begin their upstream migration again. Wading is the most common method, and fly fishing with nymphs and streamers can be very effective. A local tip: Check the water levels before you go, as these streams can fluctuate significantly after rain. Also, be mindful of private property along the banks. Access is often limited, so research public access points beforehand. These rainbows can be feisty, so be prepared for a good fight in the tight confines of the streams!
