This is one of the many great things about Temagami, and one of the best kept secrets. I hope all who fish for them respect this and release as many as possible. |

Is something missing from the previous post? There is nothing provided about the "rare native brook trout", or am I not looking in the right place? |

I was refering to the latest item under "News Briefs" on the Temagami home page regarding these trout. I should have mentioned that in my previous post. |

Aurora Trout. The MNR keeps posting lakes being open each year and just before season opener they close it. Know what you're fishing for and what the regs are before venturing out. |

well apparently anything goes on rabbit lake, because it's not even listed in last year's guideline book..which is quite unfortunate as the lake is very fished out |

Aurora Trout had no open seasons for the last two years at least. If anyone is catching them I hope they get caught! I also don't think there are any in Rabbit Lake. Lake Trout yes in Rabbit, but doubtful on the Aurora. |

What regulations do you read. Rabbit lake is Division 18 like the rest of the lakes that surround Lake Temagami which is a Division of it's own #26. Until 2007 anyhow..then it will all look different!
FYI for both 2005 and 2006 for division 18 (INCLUDES RABBIT!)
Pickeral (Walleye) Jan 1 to April 14th & Third Sat in May to Dec 31st
Bass Last sat in June to Nov 30th..just like's it been most everywhere in Ontario for decades.
Lake Trout Jan 1 to Sept 30th (Note that on Lake Temagami... Lakers are only open Feb 15 to Mar 15 & 3rd Sat in May to Sept 30th)
Northern Pike/Perch/Crappie/Whitefish Open All year.

i was referring to the book sent out by the ontario government...couldn't find it anywhere..and they also stopped the slot size and limit ruling..the fishing in the lake is a write off
what's changing in 07? |

I don't see your reasoning. Look at the map for Division 18. Kinda obvious it covers Rabbit Lake. Seperate lakes only get listed when there are restrictions/sancturaries etc on the lake. Rabbit is in Div 18 follow the regs for it when fishing Rabbit. Haven't fished Rabbit..so can't comment on the fishing..but considering last years water temps fishing was a write off on most lakes. Temagami hit almost 80 degree bath water..unheard of I'm told. Many changes coming for 2007 that will see everything from the South shore of Nippising to beyond Temagami as one Zone and why the regs last year where written for two so they can get it straightened out in time. Hit the MNR website...or the temagami fish hatchery site to see the latest proposals and get your comments into the MNR for and against what they are proposing. |

Dave the fish that was native to the Temagami area is the "blue pike". There was an article features in the Ontario Outdoors Magazine. Bill Treganza (Marten River Lodge) guides into a remote back lake for these fish, they look like a blue walleye but only a pike and all the pike you catch are blue. As for the trout, and not to offend anyone, it sure looks like a splake with a little more color on the belly, I have caught many that look exactly like those from put and take lakes in the area. |

Hey Copper. It is a Speckle. Splake do not have such a square tail and white highlites along the leading edge of their lower fins, such as the one in the photo. That is why Speckle are often referred to as "Square Tails".A splkes tail is like a Lakers. 1/2 & 1/2. The blue Pike thing sounds kinda intersting though. Maybe you could post photo here in the future. |

Yeah I guess now lookng at the tail that it would be a trout and not the hybrid splake. Looks like it lost allot of colour but they do that when they get on the ice I guess. |

Onlyapassenthru.
Splake are unable to reproduce as an independant hybrid. And so, that is the need for put & take. |

Here is a link to Marten River Lodge about blue pike: http://www.duenorth.net/martenriverlodge/blue.html
The photo in the post below is copied from the site. (I can't make a working link and photo in same post)
When I was a kid I heard stories of blue walleye being caught in Temagami R. between Outlet Bay and Cross Lake. Anyone else heard this? Checking out blue pike, I found blue walleye are extinct.

We catch a few blue walleye in Red Cedar Lake. They are far from gone and I believe that they are just a colour variation for the walleye, like an albino. I will say though that I have never caught a large one, over 3lbs, so mabey they dont live as long as their yellow brothers. |

The blue hue to many fish are directly related to their diet. The crayfish in this area are blue and it will affect color. The blue pike/ walleye could be a native like the auora trout but seems a little improbable. The trout in the lake are splake and plentyful as well. I have had 10 landed (and released) between 8 and 10 in the morning. I have heard of the aurora and have a friend who swears he released one but that also seems improbable. |
