Rainbow Trout
Negaunee, Michigan might be better known for its mining history, but it also offers some surprisingly good rainbow trout fishing. The key is to focus on the area's smaller rivers and streams that feed into the larger lakes. The Dead River, for example, has sections that hold stocked and wild rainbows. Spring and fall are prime times to target these fish, as water temperatures are cooler and the trout are more active. Early morning and late evening are generally the best times to fish. When fishing these smaller streams, stealth is crucial. Use light line and natural presentations. A local tip is to check the stocking reports from the Michigan DNR to see where recent plants have occurred. Access to some of these streams can be challenging, often requiring some hiking. However, the reward is the chance to catch beautiful, wild-strain rainbow trout in a secluded setting.
