Lower Manitou Lake is very well known by the locals as one of the best Lake Trout Lakes in all of Northwestern Ontario. You will find lots of shorelunch size Lakers all the way up to wall-hangers. In the spring you can catch trout right off the island and many of the best spring spots on the lake are within 5 minutes of the camp.

Early in the season, from Ice out until late May you will find the trout in 10-30ft. of water. Many of the early season fishing spots are within site of the main camp. You can catch trout early in the year by simply trolling shorelines with crankbaits, spoons, Mepps, or by simply dead bait rigging off shore.

In July and August you will find trout in what we call their summer trout holes and the depths tend to run 60-100ft. of water. When the trout are in their summer patterns we use the same techniques as we do in the transition phase, we just adjust them for the deeper water.

The Lake Trout on Lower Manitou Lake average from 3-7lbs, but you will find plenty of 10-15lbs. being caught each year and every once in awhile a 20lbs.+ is reported being caught.

Lower Manitou is one of the premier Lake Trout Lakes in all of Northwestern Ontario. Come try it for yourself.
