11 Day Fly fishing Trip To Algonquin

Just returned from Algonquin. This year we decided to explore the North River. We set up camp on an island in North Depot Lake. We had the entire island and nearly the entire lake to ourselves for 11 days. We fished the river for brookies during day and trolled the lake points in the evening for lakers.

Snot rockets. Sometimes they cooperate sometimes they don't

I have my own Sports pal but you can only pack for maybe one or two days, So we rent a cargo canoe. This is 17 1/2' Winisk. Best most stable boat I ever paddled. capacity of more than 600lbs fully loaded with only 4" waterboard tracked like a dream even in moderate wind.

Only problem with 17 1/2' canoe is passing items back and forth. We revised a system of passing items back and forth on the ends of our paddles.

Trolling for lakers

Now that's a Holiday Adventure, congrats and thanks for sharing it with us.

I've gotten far to comfortable with Cabins and power boat fishing holidays, you've inspired me to go back to basics...being poor sure made things more fun :)

Wow, very nice!

Awesome trip man, I go to Algonquin a lot but I haven't fly fished it yet, I don't portage so I'd imagine the fishing wouldn't be nearly as good of Hwy 60, any ways thanks for sharing

looks like a great trip!!!

Looks like a good way to vacation....
Thanks for sharing your adventure

Sounds like an awesome time.

No pics for me, only that photobucket error message about 3rd party hosting. Grrr

Cheers

I get same error, but sounds like a great trip

Hi, I'm Dave, from Hamilton, Ontario. Is it worth fishing the North River for brook trout? (I'm 100% catch and release when fishing for that species. ) I'm sitting at the airport in Toronto, waiting for a flight to The Soo, where I'll head north to fish the rivers that dump into the world's second largest freshwater lake.

When you say "Species" I have to assume you are talking about "Specks" or "Speckled Trout". This forum does not really care if you release or keep your catch for a fantastic fish fry. Most members appreciate a fine feed of Specks from time to time. It's always worth the effort to fish the North (to answer your question). Early spring is your best bet for these tasty fish! :) Good luck FilmLover!
