Brook Trout fishing at Nipawin Lake
Spring brook trout on Nipawin Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 21 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.
