Rainbow Trout

Various

If you're chasing rainbow trout in northern Michigan, Le Roy offers access to some excellent, lesser-known stretches of the Muskegon River and its tributaries. The spring and fall are prime times, as the rainbows are most active during these cooler periods, either running upstream to spawn or bulking up before winter. The Muskegon, in particular, holds a healthy population of wild rainbows, supplemented by occasional stocking. A local tip: focus on the areas just below the numerous small dams and weirs along the river; these spots often concentrate fish. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate rapidly depending on rainfall, so check conditions before you head out. Access is generally good via county road crossings, but be respectful of private property. Wading is popular, but a small boat or kayak can open up more of the river to you. The rainbows here aren't giants, averaging 10-16 inches, but their wild nature and the beautiful surroundings make for a rewarding experience.
