Outdoors: In search of wild brook trout

For many fly fishers, brook trout are considered the “holy grail” of trout

For many fly fishers, brook trout are considered the “holy grail” of trout. They are loved because of their aggressive takes, beautiful coloration and the fact they can only live in clean, unpolluted waters.

Mark Melnyk, host of The New Fly Fisher Television Show, recently travelled to Northern Ontario in search of wild brook trout. The key to his search was affordable trout fishing... and he found it at Blue Fox Camp.

Located in beautiful Algoma Country, just a short floatplane flight from Elliot Lake, Blue Fox Camp is surrounded by numerous lakes and river systems that all possess brook trout.

How big? Can you believe specimens of 3-4 lbs are common with monster fish caught every week in the 6-8 lb range.

The trout get this big thanks to the huge quantities of forage that are available in these lakes.

Blue Fox Camp has clean, comfortable accommodations and can provide a number of plans for all anglers. Blue Fox Camp offers full American Plan, a Housekeeping Plan during the off season, and the Blue Fox Outpost – a remote fly-in housekeeping outpost on Lake Kirkpatrick and the Blue Lake System.
