Rainbow Trout
While Howell isn't renowned for its rainbow trout fishing, the Michigan DNR stocks certain lakes and streams in the area, offering a chance to target these fish. Check the DNR's stocking reports to identify the most recently stocked locations. The Huron River, though not immediately in Howell, is a worthwhile option within driving distance. Spring and fall are generally the best times to fish for rainbows, as the water temperatures are more favorable. Fly fishing with nymphs, streamers, or dry flies is a popular and effective method. Spin anglers can also use small spinners or spoons. A practical tip is to focus on areas with current, such as riffles and runs, as these areas tend to hold more oxygen and attract trout. Access to some of these streams can be limited, so be sure to research access points and obtain any necessary permissions. While the rainbow trout in these waters may not be huge, the chance to catch them in a relatively urban setting is a unique opportunity.
