in the Chapleau area is excellent. Most guests come to the north for Walleye and Pike and do not take advantage of the great Brook Trout fishing. As a result, there is a healthy population of Brook Trout (Speckled Trout) in the local streams and lakes. In most parts of North America, a two pound Brook Trout is considered a trophy. The residents of the Chapleau area think that's funny.

The limit of Brook Trout is 5 in your possession. Generally, Brook Trout like worms, small spinners or single salmon eggs on a small trout hook. 4 to 6 pound test line should be used with a fly or noodle rod but a Walleye stick will work just fine.

Possession of fish means live or cleaned. Possession means fish on your stringer, fish in your freezer, fish in your frying pan. Some people catch and clean 4 Walleyes and put them in the freezer to take home. Then they go back out and catch lunch. This is illegal. If you plan on eating three Walleyes for lunch every day, then you can only have one Walleye in the freezer and must wait until your last day to keep those extra three Walleyes. Many people have been confused on this issue. Go to Ministry of Natural Resources Fishing Regulations

We ask our guest not to keep Walleyes over 18 inches. Walleyes over 18 inches are generally female and only make up 15% of the population. They are needed to keep our Walleye population healthy. We want sports fishing not meat fishing at Moose Horn Lodge. If you catch a trophy, please measure, take a picture and then let the fish go.

Moose Horn Lodge sells minnows and worms. If you want fishing tackle, there are several bait stores in the village of Chapleau which is only a 10 minute drive from the lodge. We also have fish cleaning and freezing facilities. Click here to view our Photo Gallery
