Brook Trout ice fishing in Ontario

300 Ontario lakes on this site have brook trout on record, largest first. A lake without a record may still hold them: records come from provincial open data and our own research, and are not complete. Some records are stocking records, which show what a province has stocked, not everything in the lake.

General brook trout tips

Brook trout are a small-water favourite; tiny jigs or spoons tipped with a worm or maggot, fished shallow to mid-depth.

This is general guidance for the species, written by Ice Fish Canada, not a report from any one lake. Limits, size rules and closures vary by lake, so read the current Ontario regulations before you fish. Measure the ice yourself: see the ice thickness guidance.
