About this water

This cluster represents that small-stream brook-trout fishery: a buoyant dry and a quiet approach on intimate, lightly-fished water. Easily expanded into named individual creeks.

Under the surface

Algoma and Superior Country hold some of Canada's best wild brook-trout fishing — a network of cold Shield streams, beaver-meadow creeks and headwater rivers feeding Lake Superior, with native brook trout and smallmouth in the lakes. A regional cluster representing the broader Algoma small-stream brookie fishery.
