Rainbow Trout
While New Era itself doesn't have a renowned rainbow trout fishery, you can find decent opportunities within a reasonable drive. The Pere Marquette River, a short drive east, is a famed trout stream known for its wild and stocked rainbows. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, with the spring offering exciting streamer fishing and the fall providing opportunities for egg patterns as the trout prepare to spawn. Focus on sections of the river with good gravel beds and riffles. Wading is common, but be prepared for strong currents. A local tip: check the DNR stocking reports to see where recent plants have occurred, as these areas often hold the highest concentration of fish. Also, pay attention to fly hatches and match your flies accordingly. Rainbows in the Pere Marquette can be quite selective, but the rewards are worth the effort.
