By: Chris Shaffer Over the last 15 years we have filmed in Canada at least two dozen times. While it’s been a few years, we used to frequent the British Columbia Coast in search of salmon and the Lower Mainland for trout. We’ve been fortunate to trout fish the Alberta side of the Canadian Rockies. […]
By: Chris Shaffer When one of my friends heard we were going brook trout fishing in North Georgia he didn’t believe us.

By: Tom Armstrong Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources stocks hundreds of lakes in Northern Ontario with brook trout, splake and rainbows. Brook trout are the most abundant. Meanwhile, fishing stocked brookies can be a hit or miss. No matter how good the lake or how large of a stocking it receives catching brooks is never […]
By: Chris Shaffer It’s been a hot, dry summer in Southern and Central Alberta and up until a few weeks ago trout fishing was slower than normal across the province due to these conditions.
