Finding Brookies: hunting for those square tail giants in historic waters
Trophy Brook Trout Fishing Nipigon | Hunt Giant Coasters & River Monsters in the place where Dr. Cook caught the world's largest speckled trout.
This trip is purpose-built for serious anglers looking to hunt down their personal best Brook Trout. The legendary Nipigon River system is the ultimate proving ground for trout fishermen, famously home to the 14.5-pound World Record Brook Trout caught right here in 1914. This isn't a casual day of casting—this is a dedicated hunt for massive, wild trout. This trip isn't about numbers; it's about the quality of the fish caught and making it count with any and all opportunities. Depending on the season, water levels, and temperatures, we will target these giants across three distinct, world-class fisheries: the fast currents of the historic Nipigon River, the deep structure of Lake Nipigon, and the rugged shorelines of Lake Superior where we hunt the legendary "Coaster" Brook Trout subspecies.
An Elite Platform For Gear & Fly Anglers All fishing is done entirely from the boat. You will be hunting from "OFFline," a premium 18’ Lund Tyee (175HP Mercury Verado) specifically optimized for high-end trout tactics. We have heavily invested time and money into this rig to give fly fishermen a rock-solid, spacious platform for clean, unbalanced casts without wave slap spooking shallow fish. It operates just as beautifully for traditional spinning, casting, and deep-water trolling gear. The boat accommodates a maximum of 3 guests total, which is ideal for 1–2 fly anglers or up to 3 traditional gear anglers, with plenty of room to store high-end rods and equipment.
Hard Work & Trip Logistics While I can't control the weather or the fish bite, I am not a lazy guide. I will work tenaciously hard, using a lifetime of local boating experience to read the patterns and put you on the fish of a lifetime. The base rate covers 1 person for a full 6 hours of actual fishing time (excluding travel), and additional anglers can join for $100 per person. Service hours can be increased or decreased at check out (fee changes apply).
What is Included A delicious lunch and non-alcoholic drinks are fully provided on board. If you want to celebrate a catch, an optional wilderness shore lunch can be built into your day. High-quality rods, reels, tackle, and safety gear are provided, though fly anglers are welcome to bring their own favorite setups. Any fish caught within local legal regulations are yours to keep, and I will gladly clean your catch. Guests must bring a valid Ontario fishing license, polarized sunglasses, a hat, non-spray sunscreen, and high-quality, weather-appropriate clothing layers—be prepared for anything from hot sun to freezing, sleeting rain.
