Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout fishing near Pinconning, Michigan requires a bit of a drive, as the immediate area isn't prime trout habitat. However, the Au Gres River, located about 30-45 minutes north, offers a decent opportunity for catching rainbows, especially during the spring and fall steelhead runs. These fish often move into the river from Lake Huron. Look for deeper pools and runs, especially after a rain event. Standard steelhead tactics work well: drifting spawn bags, beads, or artificial nymphs under a float. Fly fishing can also be productive, particularly with egg patterns and streamers. Access to the Au Gres is fairly good, with several public access points and bridge crossings along its length. Be sure to check the Michigan DNR fishing regulations for specific rules and restrictions on the Au Gres River, as they can change seasonally. Remember to practice good catch-and-release techniques to help maintain the fishery.
