Au Train is a small river on Michigan's Upper Peninsula that flows into Lake Superior, offering anglers a chance to fish for lake-run species in a compact, accessible setting. The river draws steelhead and brown trout that move upstream from the big lake, particularly during spring and fall runs. The Au Train also holds resident brook trout and browns in its upper reaches, making it worth exploring whether you're targeting migrants or native populations.
These articles cover what species you'll encounter at different times of year, how water conditions affect where fish hold, and which techniques work best in the river's pocket pools and runs. You'll find information about seasonal timing, access points along the river, and how the Au Train's character changes from its mouth near Munising upstream into the forest.
