Speckled Trout

[Guest Kahuna]

I really enjoy speckled trout fishing & I live in the south, what I was wondering are there places to fish the Nipigon River from the shore or banks??. I do not own a boat & would like to catch some to eat , 1 fish around 16 inches would keep me happy for the day & when is a good time to try for them I dont like to eat blackflies at the same time. Any help would be appreciated Thank You

Minimum size to keep on the Nip is 22". Most of us up here frown on the thought of a 22" Brook Trout kept for the frying pan, but it is your legal right.

Black Sturgeon road is where you wanna be.Ask M.N.R. and they`ll tell you where to go creek wise anyway.

Thanks very much for the info on the speckles the minimum size 22 inches seems strange to me I dont like to keep any over 16. Thanks again

Sort of depends on where your fishin,I freqently visit a lake up north of T.Bay that yields 2-4lb speckies although I don't take a limit of them,One sure is tasty on the B,B,Q.

12-16 inchers are geat too.

I must admit lake specs and river specs are two different games.

All brookie fishing around Nipigon R. is closed for the year until the Spring. You'll have to find a stocked lake to keep any fish. Stocking sheets can be found at the MNR Office on James St. I believe. (or try D&R Sports)

Who do I get in contact with to find out?

The fishing regulations issued yearly list additional fishing opportunities for stocked lakes. That is the guideline I use. If its a named lake I fish it. The MNR also has posted signs at these lakes indicating that they are stocked lakes as well ....however....I have seen that sign on the trail into Clegge but don't see it listed any longer as a stocked lake ? Fish Online no longer shows it being stocked either???? I don't need the "fifth degree in the field" so exclusively use the current fishing regs as gospel. The opening dates, limits and restrictions for stocked vs natural are clearly identified on them and therefore, I suggest, safe to use !?

Spec fishing in the creeks usually gets good mid June till about mid August I find. Any creek on the black sturgeon road is good just bring some bug spray and don’t be afraid to do some bushwhacking! Just be aware if you fish any of the rivers or creeks downstream of the highway flowing into superior there’s special regs that you would want to look up.

I have never seen that sign going into Clegge and I used to fish that and Long quite frequently. They have closed Clegge and Long lake as they are natural reproducing lakes from studies that were conducted.
