There are still good numbers of Brown Trout, but the big ones are much harder to come by than in years past and the majority of angler interest is focused on the anadromous Steelhead and Salmon. In recent years a number of angler groups, property owners, and interested citizens have joined together to improve conditions along the river and improve the habitat within it. These efforts have been prompted, in large part, by a desire to see the Brown Trout fishery restored to its former glory. While these efforts have had a profound effect on improving conditions for salmonids, they have had little impact on the Brown Trout fishery itself. The river today serves as an important nursery for Lake Michigan salmonids.
