Triplog : Algonquin - Spring 2008

Spring In The Park

Thursday May 1st to Sunday May 4th, 2008

An account of a spring canoe trip into Ontario’s Algonquin Park.

For a brief time each year, as the northern lakes first shake off their winter ice, large trout can be found feeding voraciously in the shallows until the lakes finally “turnover” and warming surface waters drives them back to the cooler depths. During this short time these trout become accessible to anglers willing to endure icy water, muddy portages and possible wintery weather. This is the story of one such group in Algonquin during the spring of 2008.
