Just came back from Upper peninsula and those beautiful wild rainbows and Brooks what colors. I fished and lived in South West Michigan as a kid and fished the Brooks on uncles farm in Rockford. Getting back in the water this year I'm Michigan was step back in great kid memories walking the creek like you did. I fished my way up the lake Michigan rivers from Ludington to Paradise to Ontanagon with my fiancee and she cried when we left Michigan at state line of Wisconsin because it changed from wild back to domestica. We caught bass Pike splake sucker perch rainbows and hunted the abundant mosquito. You make a great video good camera work and details. I subscribed.
A lot fewer people!! I love the small streams. Of course, they generally preclude a fly rod if that's your fancy but... If I had a dollar for every sub-legal brook trout!! 😎
Thanks for stopping by my stomping grounds. As kids we use to catch a few smallies behind the gravel pit, not too long ago I took a trip wading through heading south and ended up getting yelled at by someone who owned property surrounding the area. Took me by surprise, never had that happen before, just headed back towards the bridge.
Nice video! I fly-fish 99% of the time, but have no objection to worm-dunking where regulations allow. I don’t think most people realize there are hundreds of miles of small creeks like this in Michigan. Some are all trout, some are more chubs, but still some decent trout.
I fish a few creeks in the area. Let me know if you ever want to chase some browns down..only a few days left of the season for most of these small streams tho.
I did some work with a local Michigan TU chapter some years ago. We shock-surveyed a small stream, 8-12 feet wide. Lots of 4"-8" browns (we counted, measured, and clipped a fin) BUT... we pulled several 16-20" browns out of that small stream. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would not have believed it. Nice vid. Thx.
That’s awesome to hear! My favorite stream is loaded with 8-12” browns . Biggest I’ve caught from it is 16” but I’ve seen a few BIG ones! Keeps me coming back!
Great video man, I'm not set up with waders and the right gear but that does look really fun. Just finished college for the semester and work should be slower soon. I am shooting for some of the larger streams so I can use the kayak.
I use 12 dollar water shoes and shorts and a pack pack. Typically you don't need but a few lures if you know how to get your snags free. I carry usually a bag of swivels and snaps and a few different spinners pliers and scissors. A net is a must too so you don't kill these fish by keeping the. Out the water and handling them with salty hands
Nice video!! You ever go after Native Brook? I fish Northeast Iowa and we have a few streams with native Brooks and it’s a blast catching them. The colors are amazing. I still appreciate our reproducing browns though too. Look forward to more videos!
Check out the trout routes app in the video description! Gives all the road crossing and access points! I also do a lot of door knocking to gain permission to specific sections!
As you enter the river bank at a public location you are legally allowed to fish up and down the river in private property as long as you are within the defined the river bank and your only purpose is fishing. You can walk up on pro age property to avoid log jams And get around dams well so asong as your purpose it fishing and you do not disturb anything in the property that means. It even lifting a rock for a worm. You have to go from point a to point b in Order to legally tresspass. Outlined in the guide books. People get mad but nothing they can do. Tell them to call DNR and they'll help sort it out. Always a good idea to ask though to gain respect in the community and you definitely don't want to walk into someone shooting range
Thats how it is most days in that creek. Please don't give it all away though bro. I really don't really see any fisherman around here much though. Its kinda a tough one to fish. Takes some skill. I'm always finding snagged up lines that people are to lazy to get. But, I get free shit out of it. Lol Let me know next time your around. Id gladly go with you. Show you the real honey holes!! Just as long as its kept secret! Ha ha Today's the last day and I'm going for some night trout. Biggest night brown out of there was 23 inches. Keep it up and good luck buddy!
Non related to fishing ..but do you ever happen to see old bottles or anything like that ? I live in Michigan near paint creek ...gonna try waking that one soon
Heading up north to Johannesburg area to our family cabin and plan on doing some brookie fishing on the black and pigeon. Would love to get with a local and fish some new hidden gems!
Hey bud are you having luck fishing any of the blue and light blue colored streams on trout routes? I’m surrounded by them but the better rated green streams are farther away not sure if it’s a good idea to stick local
I live in Michigan. I fish the Au Sable a lot, any advise for lures there. Can’t seem to get a lot of fish outta there. I know they’re there just can’t seem to produce. And I hate snakes 🐍 too…..
You gotta get down fast in the big rivers, chuck and ducking is the most productive for Steelhead, Salmon, and trout. When the hatches happen in June, you can slam Browns or Bows on almost everything, especially streamers.
@@themichiganangler4746 it’s a little creek off Arcadia, Michigan where trout come up from Lake Michigan to spawn. Locals here love it for browns, your video looks just like it ;)
Oakland county 🤷🏽♂️ it’s so strict they really made to where u have to own a boat or u have to own a house it’s dumb but I understand so when I do fish we go to the tippy damn
This isn’t in the Battle Creek area is it because I happened to have found a creek and I haven’t fished it yet but it’s nearby where I live and it has brown trout and similar sized creek
it is so nice to have somebody who actually has a clue about how to fish making a video.

That was a fun trip. Beautiful area and love your comments about respecting the resource and landowners. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you, this is so great to be able to watch as an elderly guy who misses being able to tromp up and down a stream with ease.
Well thank you for watching!
Great video. I'm from Newaygo area and everyone wants to fish the big Muskegon but I love the little streams and creeks!
Man I can’t wait to get back out chasing trout this spring!
A lot fewer people!! I love the small streams. Of course, they generally preclude a fly rod if that's your fancy but... If I had a dollar for every sub-legal brook trout!! 😎

sorry that happened, it's legal to wade fish anywhere you want in michigan rivers, that person should learn the law.
Awesome Video. Love your care for the fish, gentle handling and release.
Thank you!
Great fishing nice technique beautiful fish you are blessed

Awesome trout.
Thank you!! Great day!!!
Non related to fishing ..but do you ever happen to see old bottles or anything like that ? I live in Michigan near paint creek ...gonna try waking that one soon
Not in the creeks really, atleast not that I’ve found!
Looks awesome. Do you know if the Little Muskegon near Morley / Antona has any decent trout?
I’ve never fished that area
Heading up north to Johannesburg area to our family cabin and plan on doing some brookie fishing on the black and pigeon. Would love to get with a local and fish some new hidden gems!
Sounds awesome!!! I’m from SW Michigan so I’m not much help! Good luck though!! 👊👊👍👍
Fishin the cedar river now. Come on out!
Very nice but I would skip the split shot.
You ever tip your spinners with a worm? If not try it tip it with some smaller peices
Never have but I’ll try it!
There are some decent fish in the Hersey. We’re you fishing close to the town of Hersey?
No I’m not sure where that is
Hey bud are you having luck fishing any of the blue and light blue colored streams on trout routes? I’m surrounded by them but the better rated green streams are farther away not sure if it’s a good idea to stick local
It’s been hit or miss for me. I say try them all and see what happens!
I live in oakland township and fish the paint creek as well but this section does not look familiar. What general area are you at may I ask?
I live in Michigan. I fish the Au Sable a lot, any advise for lures there. Can’t seem to get a lot of fish outta there. I know they’re there just can’t seem to produce. And I hate snakes 🐍 too…..
I’ve never fished that river actually!
I was just on the AuSable last week. Didn’t catch anything, but I did see a snake floating by…just glad I was wearing waders. 😑

What’s the fishing like in pellston area during November?
I have no idea
My back yard... literally!
Where’s your back yard?
Is this in iron river Michigan ?
No it’s not
You need to do a better job aiming your camera.
If you want to meet up let me know, I am local to the area
Sounds good! Have you been catching much lately? Was planning on heading out today but looks like it’s just about to start raining
I went out to one of the parks today and caught a few chubs but that was all.
Can you recommend anywhere near Holly to trout fish?
Is this bowens creek?
No where’s that?
