Pigeon River

[Jelf]

I am going to sell some small acreage lost I own near the Agnes S. Andreae Nature Preserve on the Pigeon River. I would like to tell prospective buyers what kind of fish they might catch on this stretch. Any advice?

Brook trout are the dominant and most sought after species. Due to cool water temperatures, the majority of the brook trout caught are in the 7” to 9” size class. However, a few larger brookies, up to 16”, are taken. In addition to brook trout, brown trout are also present throughout the river system. Although the majority of the browns taken are 7” to 10”, 14” to 16” fish are fairly common with a few up to 20” being caught. A small andadromous run of rainbow trout from Mullett Lake exists in the lower river.
