Miners River Brook Trout Fishing Conditions
Brook Trout
The Miners River flows through Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore to Miners Beach on Lake Superior. Remote brook trout fishing within one of Michigan's most spectacular national parks.
Few places in Michigan combine natural scenery and wild trout fishing as completely as the Miners River corridor in Pictured Rocks. The river is small, cold, and remote. Brook trout hold in the pools and runs throughout the upper watershed. Access is via the Pictured Rocks trail system — expect a hike before reaching productive water.
National Lakeshore regulations supplement Michigan DNR rules in this corridor. Check both NPS and DNR for current season rules. The remote character of the access means pressure is minimal and the fish are largely unfished.
