Local Species Insights: Brown Trout

Brown trout thrive in Michigan's river systems, particularly in areas with good current flow and structure like fallen trees, undercut banks, and deep pools. These fish are known for their wariness and fighting ability, making them a favorite target for experienced anglers. In Stanwood's waters, brown trout typically hold in deeper runs during the day and move to shallower feeding areas during low-light periods. They respond well to drift fishing techniques with natural baits and bottom bouncing presentations that mimic their preferred prey. The spring months offer excellent opportunities as these fish become more active with warming water temperatures and increased insect activity.

Plan Your Fishing Charter Day

Your 8-hour charter begins with a thorough briefing on the day's fishing plan, river conditions, and safety procedures. Matt provides all necessary equipment including rods, reels, tackle, and bait, though you're welcome to bring personal gear if preferred. The custom jet boat or drift boat selection depends on river conditions and target areas, with both vessels equipped with onboard heating for comfort. The trip accommodates two anglers comfortably with space for a third person, making it ideal for small groups or couples seeking a private fishing experience. Dress in layers and bring weather-appropriate clothing, as river conditions can change throughout the day. Matt's local knowledge ensures you'll fish the most productive areas while learning techniques you can apply to future fishing adventures.
