A number of years ago, 5 or so, they were still catching them in the small pools just beside the north impact area.

Bear Creek is a tributary stream of the Pine River, which is a tributary of the Nottawasaga, which empties into Georgian Bay. Bear Creek did have a natural brook trout population, don't know if that is still the case. There were also brookies in some of the streams on the Bruce Peninsula, flowing into the Pottawatomi and Sydenham Rivers, which flow into Georgian Bay via Owen Sound. That was back in the 80s, I have no idea if there are still specks back there or not. And I'm not that sure how to spell the full name of the Pot. 😉 Doug

About five years ago I was at the Old Mill Dam in Toronto shooting photos of jumping salmon. A day or two later I noticed a small fish in the background of one of the photos, so I cropped in as much as I could to see what it was. To my shock, it was a brook trout. Picture quality is horrible because it's enlarged like crazy, but it's still unmistakably a brookie. No doubt about it. If they show up in Lake Ontario tributaries, then why not Georgian Bay?

100% Brookie and it certainly appears to be a hatchery raised fish.

I wasn't going to bother commenting but when it was called a Laker I just had to lol. The one main characteristic that separates Greys from other trout and hybrids is the much deeper forked tail, which that fish does not have. Nor does is have a true enough square tail to be a Speck so my vote is Splake. Looks just like these and plenty of other pics I've seem guys post on some fb fishing groups I'm on.

Best Trailer Park Boys episode ever, lol.
