Lake Trout

If the pike is the godfather of Lake Clear fish than the lake trout is surely king. These tasty fish of the char family were once the top sport fish in the region. However, years of overfishing and habitat loss have removed them from their most favoured position. This trend is now being reversed. With the introduction of walleye to aid in habitat redevelopment and the institution of special conservation regulations, this species is making a comeback.

Most of the season these fish are found in sixty foot or more of water and extremely difficult to catch. They are a true test of an anglers skill and dedication. However, they have been known to lurk in the shallows or near the surface in the early morning.

Lake Trout can live for a remarkably long time. Some specimens in Ontario have been known to live for over 40 years. Their longevity makes them a crucial part of the local ecosystem.
Lake Trout in Ontario are known for their size. They can grow up to 120 cm in length and weigh over 60 pounds, although the average size is usually around 40-50 cm and 10-20 pounds.
They primarily feed on other fish, making them a top predator in their ecosystem. Their diet consists of whitefish, ciscoes, perch, and even smaller lake trout.
Lake Trout are a prized catch for anglers due to their size and the challenge they present. They are known for their strong fight when hooked, often diving deep and using the lake’s depth to their advantage.
