Ever wondered what it would be like to fish for monster lake trout and actually catch them in 3-5 ft. of water?

Well, the answer is quite simple. It’s absolutely amazing!!!

The last week of August and the first couple of weeks of September will see these huge female lake trout move to shallow rocky reefs and points in anticipation of their yearly spawn.

These magnificent fish are displaying their full fall spawning colors that can only be seen at this special time of year. And if you think they are sluggish during this period, you are sadly mistaken. They absolutely crush any bait that catches their attention and fight like they have full intentions of winning the tug of war battle. Whether you are using a 5-7” streamer fly or trolling an assortment of large spoons, the results are the same, catching huge trout.

We have yet to find a spoon that is too big for these monsters, and a 5 of diamonds is as good a spoon as any. We use single barbless hooks for easy releases, and practice CPR (catch, photograph, and release) to make sure this incredible fishery remains strong and sustainable for not only us, but for the next generation as well.

The average size of the trout varies, but you can be rest assured there are tons of trout in the 35-40” class and many that are in excess of 45”. During a period of 1+ day, a lucky group of hunters that were all tagged out on their caribou hunt had over 50 Manitoba Master Angler Lake Trout (minimum master angler for lake trout is 35”).

What an incredible experience to have one of these monsters on your line, get it all the way to the side of the boat only to have the fish slip off the hook. But no need to worry because in most cases they won’t usually go too far and if you jig and move the spoon around in the shallow water, they will most likely attack it again with the same vengeance as it did in the first place.

We are extremely fortunate to have crystal clear water on our lakes, giving you the best seat in the house to view all this crazy action.

On top of the fantastic fall lake trout fishing, The Lodge at Little Duck still have some of the best pike fishing to be found anywhere in Canada. These predators are constantly stalking these shallow waters looking to beef up as much as possible to ensure they make it through the cold water season, which as you can imagine, lasts quite a while in the north.

Arctic Grayling are also available in big numbers this time of year, and can be fished in the relatively calm waters of the Wolverine River, which just happens to located right behind The Lodge at Little Duck. The grayling are also looking to beef up before winter arrives and can be caught using many different techniques. It is not unusual to have a 16 inch grayling on the end of your line only to have a huge lake trout come up and completely swallow the grayling. After that……the fight is definitely on.

Whether your game is fly-fishing, trolling, jigging or casting, there are plenty of ways to take advantage of the incredible fall fishery we have at The Lodge at Little Duck.
