TEMAGAMI FISHING VACATION IN ONTARIO - FISH TEMAGAMI LAKES

Temagami Aurora Trout Fishing

The Aurora Trout was originally found in the Montreal River system and the Ottawa River. They where almost all near instigation when reintroduced to a couple of Lakes in the Temagami District in Ontario. Ontario traditionally stocked nine northern lakes with aurora trout to provide limited sport fishing. Fishing was allowed on two or three of these nine lakes each year on a rotating basis. Aurora trout in these lakes do not reproduce. Allowing a limited recreational fishery raises the awareness of this important fish and does not affect the long-term recovery plan for them. August 1, 2006 - The Ministry of Natural Resources and partners have spent the past two years developing a recovery strategy for aurora trout. The primary long-term goal of that strategy is to maintain a self-sustaining population of aurora trout in two lakes near Temagami, where they are once again reproducing naturally. These lakes are designated as year-round sanctuaries. Brood stock is being maintained in a lake near Kirkland Lake that is closed to fishing to preserve a separate source of eggs for the future.

Brook Trout, One of Canada's Most Loved Trout

By Ken Austin

Brook trout are one of the most popular game fish in Canada. These fish can be found in the northern most parts of North America. What is so great about these fish? Is there a great location to go brook trout fishing? And, what type of lure and equipment do you need for trout fishing then? To answer these questions, you can begin by knowing something about the brook trout itself. Then, you can decide if brook trout fishing is something for you.

Brook trout, or Salvelinus Fontinalis, are also known by other names. You may have heard them called Speckled Trout, Aurora Trout, Sea Trout, Brookie or several other names. The fist itself ranges from 10-12 inches, but several larger fish have been caught as well. Their average weight tends to be about 5 pounds, again depending on the length. The largest brook trout caught came in at 21 inches long and 14.5 pounds. That fish, a very rare occurrence, was caught in Ontario on the Nipigon River.

These fish range in color, but mostly brook trout are dark green to a light brown with sliver sides and even pale spots as well. As with other types of fish, their color tends to get deeper and richer during spawning. The male can develop a hook like feature on the jaw during breeding season.

As for brook trout fishing, the best locations to do so are in the maritime provinces of Canada. Brook trout like water that is clean, well oxygenated, and usually are found in streams and lakes. To get some brook trout fishing in, an individual has the best chance using live bait or by artificial fly. Also, spin casting has been found to be effective at catching brook trout. These fish seem to be a good size and beautiful creatures of the north. For those planning a brook trout fishing trip, brook trout spawn in late summer or early autumn. Their lifespan is about five years.
