Fishing Planet: A Guide to Catching Trout in Michigan

When it comes to catching trout in Michigan on Fishing Planet, timing is everything. In order to reel in those elusive trout, you need to know the right techniques and strategies to employ. In this guide, we'll cover some of the key tips and tricks for catching trout in Michigan.

First and foremost, make sure you're fishing at the right time. The early morning bite times seem to be the most productive for catching trout. If you find yourself getting impatient, don't forget that you can fast forward through time by pressing X while standing by the lake.

Another important aspect of successful trout fishing is your gear. Investing in a high-quality casting spoon can make all the difference in your catch rate. I highly recommend purchasing the Casting Spoon 14 Oz. For beginners, starting with a smaller lure like the MiniSpin 800 and upgrading to an EspiraSlim 1000 as you gain more experience.

When it comes to rods, don't be afraid to upgrade. I started with a ValuSpin 6'3', but have since upgraded to the FeatherLight 6'3'. This may be the first upgrade to your telescopic rod, and trust me, it's worth it.

So, where should you cast? Try standing on the left side of the pier using a spinning rod. Make sure to cast across the lake between the lilies (not in them), and slowly drag your lure back to you with a stop-and-go motion. I've had great success with this technique, catching around 20 pike so far.

Among the different types of pike found in Michigan's waters is the Grass Pickerel, which can often be caught near the pier at Lone Star Lake. However, if you catch a Spotted Bass, you'll need to throw it back - these fish are your 'money fish'.

To get the most out of your fishing experience and maximize your credits, consider purchasing the Texas Advanced license for $200. This will grant you access to higher-level lakes without requiring additional payments.

One of the best things about Fishing Planet is that you don't have to worry about keeping a large keepnet on hand since you won't be charged for returning to the lake. Many fish can be farmed at Lone Star Lake, which has no travel cost and is ideal for early fishing and credit farming.

As of July 15, 2019, this achievement seems to pop at around 100 fish caught, so keep an eye out for that milestone. With these tips and tricks under your belt, you'll be well on your way to catching trout in Michigan like a pro. Happy fishing!
