Rainbow Trout
While Monroe isn't typically known as a trout hotspot, the Huron River, accessible within a short drive, offers a decent opportunity to target stocked rainbow trout. The Michigan DNR stocks the Huron River annually, making it a viable option for anglers seeking these beautiful fish. Spring and fall are the best times to fish, coinciding with stocking schedules and cooler water temperatures. Focus on areas with good current and structure, such as fallen logs and deeper pools. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms or waxworms are effective. Be aware of changing water levels, especially after rainfall, as the river can become turbid quickly. Access to the Huron River is available at various parks and roadside pull-offs along its course. Check the Michigan DNR stocking reports online for the most up-to-date information on stocking locations and dates.
