Posts: 785 02/05/2009 00:06	Tags : None Been dreaming about a trip to Canada for Brookies. I have all the information on Minipi Camps and Three Rivers camps and they sound wonderful but unfortunately they are of out my price range. Can anyone recommend a more low end rustic camp setting up in Canada where you can fish mainly streams. The lake fishing on Minipi is not all that interesting for me. Really want to be wading streams. The brookies do not have to be the monsters that they take in the super camps. Fancy lodges are not my thing. Any camp suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It has been a long difficult year at my work and looking for a nice escape. Thanks Bob

Also some good opportunities for sea run whoppers in New Brunswick and PEI. I can tell you about Northern Quebec, just drop me a PM via Yuku. For the Maritimes I'll bet Bow River can point you to some good spots in NB as can I. You should also contact Hardy Guy on this forum. He guides PEI and elsewhere in the Maritimes, and has shown pics here of some gorgeous big brookies. Tight lines, Paul

cutthroattroutnm	Manitoba is God's Country for Brookies	#7	[url]	[-]
Posts: 21 02/17/2009 04:37	While the Minipi is more well known, the God's River in Manitoba is every bit its equal, and is much easier to get to from most of the U.S. (a simple flight to Winnipeg and the lodges then take you to God's Lake). There are other options also (e.g. Island Lake, North Knife Lake). None of the lodges in this area are cheap (they are all fly-in), but they are generally cheaper than Labrador. And above are pictures of what you can expect. I had 12 brook trout over 20" in three days of fishing the God's River (the other 4 days of a week trip were spent northern pike and walleye fishing - my buddy is a pike on the fly kind of guy).

It's just a Very Short focal length lens, probably 14mm to 18mm. And certainly bought just for this purpose. the rods are never obsolete - the marketing is.

Also he is holding the fish well away from his body; that and the combination of a wide angle lens makes the fish look twice as big then in reality. Still it is BIG Fishing is not a matter of life and death; IT IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT! Last Edited By: SEKG 02/27/2009 22:18. Edited 1 time.

Cutthroat, those brookies are unreal, that area has been good to you. Haveing caught brook trout like that would allow me to be comfortable in my pine box when my time is up. Congrats bud!

cutthroattroutnm	Gods Lake Again	#15	[url]	[-]
Posts: 35 03/02/2009 22:40	It's true, I was clearly blessed on that trip. So much so that I want a second blessing of the same type. We're heading back up to Gods Lake again this summer, this time to focus on the Kanuchuan River, which is the major inflow stream to Gods Lake, located at the southern end of the lake. God's River is at the northern end of the lake and is the only outflow to a 1200 square mile lake. We also plan to spend a day or two on God's River as part of a ten day adventure. Half of the days will be for northern pike on the fly. I'll post more photos when I get back. To whomever said that large brookies are not as beautiful as small ones, not true! If anything, their colors get more vibrant as they get to 20" and over. Each spot is more distinct and develops more contrast with the background body color.

Please tell me mice are on the menu, I would actually be able to have a smile in the box if I were you and it was a mouse affair! Your Signature ... You can take the Yooper out of the U.P., but you can't take the U.P. out of the Yooper.

cutthroattroutnm	Dries: Caddis, Stoneflies, Mayflies, and Rodents	#17	[url]	[-]
Posts: 39 03/04/2009 02:07	You bet - mice flies are included, and not just for the brook trout, but also for the northern pike. It is really hard to describe the take of a pike on a mouse fly. There is no brown trout in Montana that can reproduce the ferocity of an attack of a big northern on a mouse fly. It really is quite like a "Jaws" experience. But it is also a treat to take 20"+ brookies on dry flies in big water. Half of the Master Angler (20" and over) brook trout I caught last year were on dries, including mayfly, caddis, and stonefly imitations. My buddy had the honor of taking a brookie on a mouse. There's still something left for me to live for.
