Rainbow Trout
While not a primary trout destination, Stevensville offers some opportunities for Rainbow Trout fishing. The St. Joseph River receives steelhead (migratory rainbow trout) runs from Lake Michigan. These fish are typically larger and offer a challenging fight. The best time to target steelhead is during the fall (October-December) and spring (March-May) runs. Fish will migrate upriver to spawn. Focus on areas with gravel beds and current breaks. Egg patterns, nymphs, and small spoons are all effective. A local tip: check the Michigan DNR's fishing report for the St. Joseph River to get up-to-date information on steelhead runs. Access can be found at various parks and boat launches along the river. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate significantly, impacting fishing conditions. While most rainbows are steelhead, some resident fish can be found in the river year-round, providing limited opportunities outside the run times.
