North Shore Steelhead Association A Not-for-Profit association aimed at preserving and conserving the cold-water fishery of the tributaries of Lake Superior in Northwestern Ontario, Canada

The primary concern of the founding members was the protection and enhancement of the north shore migratory Rainbow Trout (Steelhead) fishery, but their foresight led to the inclusion of all coldwater species in our constitution. This, by default, includes all species that use Lake Superior tributaries in their life cycle. The Association's constitution stresses public education and close association with authoritative bodies for resource conservation. Our financial base is developed exclusively from fundraising and donations from supporters. These activities not only generate capital for our projects, they also heighten public awareness of the need for environmental protection of Lake Superior's North Shore.

Summer is officially here, and so is the heat!

Some of us struggle with the warmer temps. Trout maybe more than any of us.

As you head out, be sure to remember your thermometer, check water temps, and save this handy chart to know when it's safe to fish, when to fish with extra care, and when to give trout a break.

After 2 failed attempts to install the fish counters and fish fencing, we finally got them in this morning. Hopefully we will document some upwards migrants, and those fish that may have already spawned and are dropping back to the big lake. Thanks to KEM Contacting for their assistance

Steelhead are incredible jumpers, capable of leaping up to 10-12 feet high. Renowned their strength, agility, and "cartwheeling" jumps out of the water. If these fish were people - they could be Olympic besties with Simone Biles. The Economist magazine on Aug.3, 2024 said Simone Biles is the most decorated gymnast in history. Clearly bestie material.
