Worlds largest Brook Trout caught here at over 14 lbs.
The best bays are South, Chief, Orient, and McIntrye.
Good pike are also found around Shakespeare and Kelvin
Islands and along the west shore. Big pike hang around
shallow bays in June and early July, but they're spooky
and tough to catch. Cast large bucktails or jerkbaits to
weedbeds from mid-August to mid-September, when the
largest pike come shallow and feed. The monsters hang
around the deep edges of rocky reefs and in backbays
that have cabbage beds. Some spots are less than 50 feet
(15 m) square, yet I've taken 30-pound pike off such
tiny weedbeds and have had larger fish follow. Lake Nipigon drains south into Lake Superior thru the
Nipigon River. Lake Nipigon is 90+ miles long and
65 miles wide. The lake freezes in late December
and the ice breaks up in late April to early May.
