Rainbow Trout
Looking to hook into some Rainbow Trout near Vassar, Michigan? The Cass River and its tributaries offer some surprisingly good opportunities. While not a trophy fishery, the Cass provides a chance to tangle with stocked rainbows, especially in the spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler. Spring brings the fresh run of stocked fish, while fall sees them actively feeding before winter. Access points vary, but look for public access near bridges and parks along the Cass, particularly upstream from Vassar. Wading can be tricky due to silty bottoms in some areas, so felt-soled boots are recommended. Check the Michigan DNR stocking reports before you go to see where recent plants have occurred. Also, be mindful of water levels; heavy rains can quickly make the river unfishable. Consider using small spinners, spoons, or live bait like worms or wax worms. Remember to check the current fishing regulations for size and creel limits before heading out.
