The Ice Fishing Trout Trifecta: 3 Species, 1 Remote Winter Camping Trip
We headed deep into the Haliburton Forest & Wild Life Reserve for a rugged backcountry winter camping expedition. Our goal was the ultimate challenge: the Trout Trifecta. After snowmobiling to remote lakes and setting up my canvas wall tent, the action started on Day-1 when I landed a Haliburton Gold lake trout—a genetically unique glacial relic found only in these waters.
Throughout this ice fishing adventure, we battle freezing temperatures and travel cross-country to find Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Brook Trout all in one trip. This is remote Ontario ice fishing and winter survival at its finest. I have my Dog North along on the adventure too! I did this trip with my friend Steve, and he shot a YouTube video on this adventure too. Check out his channel here 👉 @SteveUpinHali
