Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Greetings... I've been looking through the stocking lists...Anybody have good experience with some of the backcountry brookie opportunities in the area? Not necessarily looking for big numbers, more a lake with some bigger fish. An info swap for Algoma District could be arranged. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyb Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hey doc -- welcome aboard. Just go to THIS web page There is a ton of info on this site...most importantly..stocking lists! Just click on the drop down menu near the top of the page that says "Select a Stewardship Council" Pick the region you want, and many of them will have stocking lists posted Tell you what...pick a few lakes, and instead of sending info back my way, just call me up and show me how to nail brookies through the ice It's on my list of things to do....

Sinker Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I would think brookie fishing in that area would pale in comparison to what you guys have up in the algoma region. There are, however, some good opportunities. You probably won't get many replies with lake names, but if you do your homework using the stocking lists, and a good map of the area, you can figure things out yourself. Fishing pressure is moderate to heavy on most lakes in that area, but there are fish to be caught. I've had a cottage in that area for 25 yrs, and I'll honestly tell you that the biggest brookie I've ever caught was 21". Its not a trophy are for specks, but sometimes, if everything lines up just right, the chance is there for a good fish. If you have an idea of a few lakes you'd like to try, send me a pm, and I could maybe offer some advice on whether its worth your time or not to travle into them.

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 i do enjoy some nice brookie fishing in the sault. this winter i'm living in peterborough because my wife is finishing school at trent. i don't know much about the area, and really miss brookie/laker fishing. i've heard the fishing can be quite good up there, and want to snap a few pictures of bancroft brookies. i'll release my beauties and post pics if anyone can help me out. tight lines.

LSPP brookies are doing just fine here without you! Oh yeah....i bet your missing the Nip right now eh! I bet they are doing good without me! Without me up north, they are all feeling safe and sound. Little do they know I'll be up there catching big brookies in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 no need to gps track my car, i park right on the side of the highway. it's the 3+ kilometres i do on snowshoes that weeds out any followers! the worst part is, you can STILL get skunked. nothing is more humbling (terrifying) than hiking for several hours through the middle of the bush with no broken trail, only to catch nothing but a whistling trout (common sucker).

Hey, its all about the adventure!! I left home this morning at 4:30am in a whiteout. What normally takes me an hour to drive took me 3. I hiked 1.5km out to my spot, started drilling my first hole, and the bolt that holds the blade on my hand auger let go!! I managed to jimmy rig it well enough to drill 2 holes, and sat in the 40k winds and whiteout conditions for 5 hours. I got one fish. The drive home was closer to 4 hours. It was a great day!!

troutologist Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Probably not the whole way in. Theres some day trips i was looking at but it would make things easier if there were tracks thats for sure. Some time Im gonan make it in for a winter camp at the cabin. Why??? the log at the cabin tells of big fish caught in the winter....id like to catch some too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anders Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 we skied in a few years ago...fishing was slow...but the ones that were caught were nice! The cabin was still there that last time we were in there. Definitly trophies to be had out of that lake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 That cabin was gorgeous. Fishing that lake for a week in winter would be awesome. I've got a lake or two picked out for when i'm home. The wife's dad keeps bringing up a certain lake with about a 5.5-6 km one way hike. Not looking forward to breaking that trail. Do either of you guys want to lead for me? I'll carry the auger? Prettty please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anders Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I will...just tell me the name of the lake first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
