Nipigon River Adventures (Nipigon, ONTARIO)

Red Rock is located 100 km east of Thunder Bay in Northwestern Ontario at the mouth of the Nipigon River. Named for the large red cliffs between Red Rock and Nipigon, Red Rock offers breathtaking scenery , which includes rugged cliffs, forests and sparkling rivers, along with some of the best brook trout fishing in North America.

Brook trout in the 4 to 6 pound category are caught on a regular basis living the prime time (June).

Rainbow Trout run up the river in the spring and fall but there are fish that stay in the river year round.

The Lake Trout season on the river starts on June 1st with best fishing during the first two weeks of the season.

Salmon fishing starts in mid July and peaks at the end of August and into the first two weeks of September.

The equipment needed for the Nipigon river are eight weight rods due to the size of the fish and the heavy current of the river.

Large arbor reels are needed for quick pick up of your line as brook trout have a habit of running directly at you when first hooked.

Type 3 sinking tip lines are needed to get the fly down quickly when the current is very fast.
