Ive been out for Pike and brookies so far. Did great on pike and pretty well on the brookies using a tenkara rod. Nothing on dries yet though.

Definitely hasnt been my season for fly fishing hopefully looking to turn that around this upcoming weekend going to Polly Lake to try for some big Pike on the fly, have yet to even touch a dry fly though for trout I dont know if its timing but have yet to see any rising fish have caught all mine nymphing and has been a hard go with how low the rivers have been

I find the dry prime time is later in the day. Last few hours of light.

This spring was killer for steelhead. Been getting into some nice coasters lately and a few by catch pike while brookie fishing. Most coasters I’ve caught have been on big sculpins or baitfish patterns, I did get one on a mouse pattern. Just looking forward to late summer for the main coaster and salmon run.

could anyone tell me any spots for brookies this time of the year thanks!

Any of the rivers east of town will produce brookies. Trick is to go and find the pools and strips of current holding the fish.

Portage creek is surrounded by private property and as far as I know the land owners only allow mnr and the steelhead association to access. You’ll find brook trout, rainbows and salmon should be moving in to pretty much every river east of town along the trans Canada. Most rivers are VERY low right now. I’d focus on larger tributaries like the Nipigon or black sturgeon. The mouth of the Mackenzie is closer to town and is a good place to start.
