Brown Trout ice fishing in Nova Scotia

18 Nova Scotia lakes on this site have brown 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 brown trout tips

Brown trout are wary; light line, small spoons or jigs, and quiet movement around the hole.

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 Nova Scotia regulations before you fish. Measure the ice yourself: see the ice thickness guidance.
