Walleye and Brook Trout Gold

Behind the Scenes of Two Unforgettable Fishing Episodes


During their 2017 season, Fish’n Canada had a couple of interesting shoots in the Algoma region of Ontario for walleye and brook trout gold. First was a trip to Blue Fox Camp for a shot at world-class brook trout in tiny lakes. The other was Loch Island Lodge for walleye.

The Blue Fox shoot didn’t disappoint. Angelo took the reins on this one as he headed into the back lakes via ATV. After a 20-minute trek through the trails, he ended up at a tiny lake that boasts some of the biggest “specks” that he’s ever seen. Along with one of his personal best brook trout between 6 and 8 pounds, he got a bonus of a bunch of fiery, wound-up lake trout.

This is a great episode and definitely worthy of viewing!

Trip Two to Loch Island Lodge had Pete team up with Danny Thompson from Garmin as they attempted to redraw over the existing depth maps with Garmin’s latest Quickdraw feature. By scanning and then fishing many of the lodge’s usual hotspots, they were able to pick apart newly found “spots within spots”. This turned a rather tough shoot (the Mayfly hatch was in full force) into a great show.
