I am determined to do a lot of both this summer, but one of my main goals is to truly start to really improve as a fly fisher\u2014specifically fishing for brown and brook trout. I live in the southeastern part of Michigan. While we are surrounded by great rivers for smallmouth bass and pike, finding a good trout river down here is a bit more challenging. There are a number of small creeks and streams that do receive stocks of hatchery-born brown trout each year, however, finding a river system where they have established a wild population is another thing entirely.<\/p>\n<p>My current list of rivers containing trout that I can reach in under three hours includes three rivers: The Muskegon, The Rogue River, and the White River. My goal was to find places that I could feasibly drive to and back home from in one day. Over the next few months, I&#8217;ll be fly fishing these rivers and many more and reporting back on what I find. As I said, I am a relatively new fly angler so I&#8217;ll be focusing on how accessible these spots are for a newer angler and what I find when I fish them. I am planning on getting further North to fish some of the classic trout streams such as the Pere Marquette, Pigeon, Au Sable, and others. For now, though, I&#8217;ll be focusing on day trips to the southernmost trout rivers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My fishing world is torn between two opposing camps: spinning and fly fishing.
