Fly Fishing on Lake Huron

Fly fishing for smallmouth bass in the Whalesback Channel of Lake Huron

Located in beautiful Algoma Country in Northern Ontario, Brennan Harbour Resort is nestled on the shores of Lake Huron in the Whalesback Channel.

Brennan Harbour Resort is a comfortable and exceptionally clean lodge facility that is ideal for fly fishers because it provides access to some fantastic fishing. Huge northern pike, smallmouth bass, even steelhead and salmon -- they are all here. Best of all, Brennan Harbour Resort works hand-in-hand with a local fly shop to help fly fishers target trophy-sized fish.

Flymart.ca is run by Scott Currie who has designed some truly deadly flies for the local waters. One of the best known is Scotty's McFly which is very effective for triggering big bass to strike. In this area, anglers should bring a minimum of 8-weight rods for the bass and 8- and 9-weight rods for the large northern pike. For the pike, big streamer flies in white, orange and black work well. For the bass smelt patterns, crayfish flies and poppers are very effective.

Flymart.ca promotes and facilitates fly fishing on the north shore of Lake Huron, and beyond. Guiding services are available for all levels from beginner to experienced anglers. For more information visit the website at flymart.ca or phone 1-888-811-1163.
