World-Class Brook Trout
Quebec Lodge boasts a privileged position, nestled in the midst of the world’s best trophy brook trout fishery. The renowned Nipigon River, only minutes away from the lodge, is home to the 14.8-pound world record brook trout caught back in 1915. With its access to the Nipigon River, Lake Nipigon, and Nipigon Bay of Lake Superior, Quebec Lodge offers anglers the opportunity to catch brook trout averaging 20 inches, with some reaching an impressive 25 inches. The experienced guides at the lodge will ensure you are taken to the best fishing spots while navigating the vast Nipigon River system.
Multi-Species Options
The lower section of the Nipigon River not only offers trophy brook trout but also resident rainbows, pike, lake trout, and chinook salmon. The unpredictable nature of this fishery means you never know what you might catch. If you’re looking for even more variety, Lake Nipigon presents another option. This expansive lake is home to giant pike, lake trout, and whitefish. Pike can be found lurking in the shallows and weed beds, while lake trout can be caught both in the shallow waters and deeper parts of the lake. Lake Nipigon offers endless opportunities for anglers to explore its abundant waters.
