Rainbow Trout
While Vernon, Michigan isn't exactly known for its rainbow trout fishing, there are still opportunities for anglers willing to explore. The Shiawassee River, though primarily a warm-water fishery, can hold some stocked rainbow trout, particularly in the spring after stocking efforts by the Michigan DNR. These fish often don't hold over through the summer, so targeting them early in the season is your best bet. Focus on areas with deeper pools and riffles where trout might find refuge. Small spinners, spoons, and live bait like worms can be effective. Access to the Shiawassee River is available at several points along its course, but be mindful of private property. Check the Michigan DNR stocking reports to see when and where rainbow trout have been released in the Shiawassee River watershed for the most up-to-date information. Remember to handle trout carefully if practicing catch and release to ensure their survival.
