If you're targeting rainbow trout near Harrisville, Michigan, focus your efforts on the numerous streams and rivers that feed into Lake Huron. The spring and fall are prime times, coinciding with spawning runs. Steelhead, the migratory form of rainbow trout, also make their way up these tributaries. Consider the Au Sable River, known for its healthy trout population and diverse fly fishing opportunities. For a more secluded experience, explore smaller creeks like the Black River, but be mindful of private property and access points. A local tip: water levels can fluctuate rapidly after heavy rains, so check river gauges before heading out. Also, be aware of the changing regulations regarding bait restrictions on certain sections of the Au Sable. The rainbows in this area are known for their vibrant colors and aggressive strikes, making for an exciting angling experience.
