Rainbow Trout
For Rainbow Trout enthusiasts, Newaygo, Michigan, offers exceptional opportunities centered around the Muskegon River. This renowned river maintains a cool temperature year-round, crucial for supporting a healthy trout population. The best time to target Rainbows here is during the spring and fall, particularly during the migratory runs. Steelhead also migrate through the Muskegon, and many anglers will find juvenile Rainbows while targeting them. For access, consider the Croton Dam area or several public access points along M-37. Be aware that the Muskegon can have strong currents, especially below the dam, so wading anglers should exercise caution. A local tip: Drift fishing with nymphs or streamers can be highly effective. The resident Rainbows in the Muskegon are known for their fighting spirit, so be prepared for an exciting battle!
