The Huron River is a great source for fishing all summer long and now with the warmer weather here everyone is hiking it down there to try their hand at catching some of the smallmouth bass and white bass that have been popping up.

Your best best bet is trying a variety of bait and tackle options to catch these prized fish. And, if you’ve been fishing for a while you probably already have your favorites.

Try minnows, crank baits, spinners or crawlers.  And be sure to stock up on all your warm water fishing supplies. A few walleye were caught between Flat Rock and Jefferson Road so be sure you get down there early and stay late to increase your chances at wrangling a few.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
