Lake Trout

Lake trout are actually quite rare! They are native only to the northern parts of North America, mostly just in Canada. Algoma Country is blessed with abundant numbers of lake trout.

You can fish for them in Lake Superior and Lake Huron plus hundreds of the region’s inland lakes support healthy populations. This fish species can be caught in the spring, right after ice-out, in shallow water (5 – 15 feet) on both fly and spinning rods. In the summer they are deep and require spinning rods for either jigging or trolling. The average size of this trout species in Algoma Country weighs from 8 – 10 pounds with specimens much larger caught throughout the season.
