Greetings fellow outdoorsmen !
First time poster, long time follower . . . Just love this site !
I've been trollin' the boards now for a bit, and haven't had the best luck finding some information regarding Trout fishing. I love the pics people post about what they catch.. (just makes me more jealous dammit ! lol ) so, I propose a few questions , and maybe you guys could help me out ?!?!
My first question I have for you guys is this . . .
What is the best "from shore" technique for Trout fishing in Algonquin Park ?!
I'm going up twice this April, this weekend to scope out spots, caches some GPS spots and check the Ice Out (website says the lakes are still covered, but after the rain and warmer weather, I'm hope it will be breaking up)
My next trip up in on the 23rd. Trout opener . . and it would be nice to know a few tips from you "pros" before I head out. I've done some internet reading, and watched some YouTube videos... but would like to hear from some experienced Trout fishermen who have been up to Algonquin before.
We are heading in from the East Gate, most likely walking the rails west from Achray up to the cart path, and then North to Rowan Lake. Or if the ice is full out at the end of the month, then we were going south off Grand, down to Wenda (however, if I have more time, I would love to portage through Carcajou and the Lower Spectacles.
My second question, not trying to steal anyones "spot", but am just curious as to some good locations for Brookies (well, to be honest, any trout would make me ecstatic) . I've heard they stocked Wenda and Rowan back in '08, hence why I want to go there . . .
but are there some good spots that are walkable from access roads ? Anywhere off the road from East Gate to Lake Traverse ? (my concern is not having ice out by the end of April, and not being able to Canoe in to the good spots! )
Thanks in advance for the help guys !
