My son and I are going to God's lake in northern Manitoba next weekend and am curious regarding suggestions for brook trout. Apparently, the river has excellant brookies and we are not too experienced with brook trout. So, any suggestions on types and sizes of lures is appreciated. Thanks

I am going to edmund lake lodge which fly's into god lake on perimter airlines and then on floats from gods lake. We mare scheduled to leave 5-31 at 6:30 am. Are you on the same flight? As far as lures for brook trout, the only suggestion I have is len thonmpson spoons about 2 to 3 inches long. Also mepps number #2 and 3. Good luck and let me know.

No, I am not on the same flight as I am going up to the God's River Lodge on Friday evening from Winnepeg. I did get some ideas on brookie lures from the Elk Island website. Seems like they like little cleos in the 1/3rd oz size. Have fun!

I fished brookies out of Gods Narrows Area (Kanuchawan River)and had a blast between 5 of us we caught around 50 with a few over the 22" range (in one day). We used any small heavy spoon we had but green seemed to work the best. 1/2 oz krocodile's, Cast Champ, Blue Fox Pixee spoons are a few to try. Bring quite a few as we had our best luck casting into the ugly fast water and you tend to loose a few in the rocks. Also a good idea to bring a small hand net if fishing from shore as they are sometimes hard to corral. Wish I was going with you, Good luck.
Caught two trophy brookies on the God's River using a blue/silver Little Cleo (hammered metal version).
