Michigan Brown Trout Festival

Michigan Brown Trout Festival The Michigan Brown Trout Festival - Fishing, music & festivities. The Michigan Brown Trout Festival began in 1975, and is still going strong.

Located on the waters of Thunder Bay in Alpena, Michigan, we are Michigan's best freshwater fishing tournament, and the longest running fishing tournament in the Great Lakes. We also hold the largest ladies fishing tournament in the nation! Our hope is to soon be the best Walleye tournament ever. We are run by a few dedicated volunteers and the entire volunteer community of Alpena and surrounding

communities. The Brown Trout Festival is a 10-day Festival that combines many different fishing tournaments with live music and entertainment. Come visit us on any day during the festival, and you're sure to find something you'll love! Whether it's listening to the sounds of Michigan bands, striking up conversation with locals in our beer tent, taking your kids to the Family Fun Day, or watching the Fish weigh-in, you'll be sure to have a great time!
