I'm taking a spring fishing trip to Algonquin Park. Looking for good bodies of water for brook trout. Any help greatly appreciated.

Algonquin Park
Crower 3,
Theres a good book at Amazon.com titled,"Brook trout and Blackflies:A paddlers Guide to Algonquin Park"by Kevin Callan.I do not know if it mentions a bunch of bodies of water for to fish,but it is supposed to be well written.Do some searches through yahoo/google for Algonquin Park.This park sounds like the brook trout capital of the world!!!!

Ken999,
I wish I could.But,unfortunately ,I`ll have to wait til my daughter has the time.I`m hopelessly illiterate when it comes to computers. maybe I can get some coaching from one of you guys.She helps me with stuff like that.Thats why I never posted any pics before.She did the avitar for me.The pic is of my biggest brown trout on a fly rod.It measured 28".But,it was out of a trib. of L.Ontario.
Sorry,I probably won`t get it enlarged until saturday after gymnastics(6pm).

Thanks Kevin,
If you think that guy is big, my brother-in-law hooked and I netted his 31" brown for him the day after I landed that one in the picture.Most of them average around 24".But, like I said they are lake run browns.Their colors are very similar to our stream brownies but they are lacking the original red dots.Tightlines!!!

Lots of good waters as stated.Originally posted by crower_3
I know some people who used to do an annual trip to "Nadine". I think it's located near the center of the northern half of the park. It was off the beaten path and so, they seldom had visitors. 3-5 lb. "Reds" (brooktrout) were the rule. But, I think those weights are common thru-out the park.--"Pete You***?!, Pete You***'s grandson?!...That name is nearly sacred & uttered with awe in THIS house!" : The late Dr. Reed's wife, upon entering her house & being introduced- so to converse with her husband about the old days, a little before he died.
