Rainbow Trout

Rainbow Trout

Various

While Galesburg, Michigan, isn't typically known as a trout destination, the Kalamazoo River and its tributaries offer limited but worthwhile opportunities for Rainbow Trout. These fish are often stocked, providing a chance to catch a beautiful and challenging species. Spring and fall are the most productive times, as water temperatures are cooler and trout are more active. Focus your efforts on areas with riffles, runs, and pools, and look for structure like fallen logs and undercut banks. Fly fishing with nymphs and dry flies can be effective, as can spin fishing with small spinners and spoons. Access to the river can be found at various road crossings and public access points; check local regulations regarding permitted fishing areas. A key piece of advice: Be mindful of water levels and clarity. High or muddy water can make fishing difficult. While Rainbow Trout may not be abundant here, the chance to catch one in a less-pressured environment makes for a unique and rewarding fishing experience.
