Brown Trout
Tributary of the Dowagiac River. Small, spring-fed creek with brown trout. Adds cold water to the main Dowagiac system.
Dowagiac Creek is a small spring-fed tributary of the Dowagiac River in Cass County. Cold groundwater inputs maintain trout temperatures and contribute to the overall health of the Dowagiac system. Wild brown trout are present.
Very small water that demands stealth and short casts. Best for anglers who enjoy the challenge of tiny spring creeks. Fish the deeper bends and undercut banks with small nymphs and dry flies.
