Also, stream trout would not fare well in Quetico streams, because the water gets too warm during the summer months. Nearly all the stream water in the park is surface water from lakes and wetlands. |

04/30/2017 12:39PM Here's what Quetico Fishes by E. J. Crossman (1976) has to say about brook trout. "This popular trout is rare in the park. It is at present known to occur there only in Hop Lake, which is tributary to Windigoostigwan Lake. It also occurs nearby, but outside the park, in Jump Lake near Batchewaung Lake." |

04/27/2017 07:19PM as long as the cat is out of the bag... it has been 17 years since I have been there, there were indeed trout in the connecting stream, when I paddled up it, I herded them in front of my canoe, then suddenly they darted around my canoe and went back behind me a year or two earlier it was shallower and they just swam out into Jean keep in mind something that small and short, you could easily destroy it, if somebody hasn't already in the intervening years walking along the banks, I have seen fish bones, and a tree that was nearby I once scared an eagle away from FYI, that is just one of many streams in the area, and probably one of the most heavily traveled |

" Have you shot that chute recently? I was in that area a few years ago, and opted to portage, because we could not find it. I remember a buddy telling me about it. |

04/17/2017 08:18AM I know this is vague, but, both times I shot the chute between Jean and Conk, there were smaller fish that looked trout-ish in it and just below it that I could see. I cannot however guarantee that's what they were. All I can say is, they looked like trout to the naked eye, and I hadn't seen fish that looked like that elsewhere in the Q. |
