Summer time is an excellent time to target big Brook Trout in large cold rivers and inland lakes. The Grdosic family recently had a chance to fish the Nipigon River, ON and make it a boating/camping adventure.
The Nipigon River, ON is an excellent fishery for trophy Brook Trout all summer long.
The Nipigon River is famous for producing trophy Brook Trout fishing in addition to Walleye and Pike.

On this trip the Grdosic’s fly fished and gear fished by wading and also from thier boat.
Johon Grdosic holds up one of the smaller Nipigon River, ON Brook Trout for release. It has the potential of becoming a 10 lb. trout!
Big Brook Trout learn to get that size by feeding on smaller trout and a variety of available baitfish. Small minnow imitating lures like Rapalas, spoons and spinners work well for them as well as streamer flies that look like baitfish.
An Ontario Ministry of FNR tag shows that the Nipigon River, ON Brook Trout population is being managed to ensure future trophy fishing.

This weeks feature image shows Connor Grdosic with a chunky Nipigon River, ON Pike. Mid-summer many anglers focus on catching Great Lakes Salmon & Trout or inland Bass and Walleye. Sometimes Pike get overlooked but summer is a great time to hook into some really nice fish out in the open lake.
The smile on Luana’s face says it all….one happy angler!
Whether it’s the rivers that flow into the Great Lakes, or fishing the many channels and islands off Lake Superior, Huron and Ontario, anglers just trolling often connect with some trophy Pike. Luana pictured above landed her biggest pike fishing in Georgian Bay last week.
Rapala Trolls To series down to 20′ is an excellent choice to tempt suspended Pike to strike around open-water structure.
Large Great Lakes summer Pike will cruise the deeper open water similar to large Walleye and even Musky. It’s common to use larger plugs and tie into a good size Pike in the same areas and waters. Key areas to concentrate for intercepting larger Pike is deeper channels in-between island, off points that head into deeper water or trolling around islands that are close to shallower bays. Lures that can be fished down to 15′ work well and include body baits and even larger spinners.
