Algonquin Park Brookies

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Algonquin Park Brookies

Post by lapointeric »

Went into the Park this weekend. We're calling it the trip of 3 seasons.... Friday was bitterly cold (low of -6° at night), Saturday was like spring (10°-17°) and yesterday was sunburn weather... Ohhhh Canadaaaaaaa!

Either way, it was another great trip. No monsters, but good steady action. A total of 16 brookies + 1 tiny laker. Caught all kinds of different ways, small spinners casting into shore, trolling crank baits/worm harnesses, drop shots near wood, etc.

Here are some of the better ones:

Next trip is planned for August (I have kids now).

Cheers!

Portaging with kayaks isn't the easiest, but we do alright. It's all worth it once we start catching them specks !

LOL, you're right, I totally missed that........

They were biting regardless of the season. THOUGH, we caught a TON of fallfish during winter/spring (Friday/Saturday), and nothing but brookies in summer (Sunday, on the way out of the park).
