Genetically pure, world record strain Nipigon Coaster Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) were originally stocked into Fortress Lake in the early 1930s. Fortress Lake is a very productive mountain lake, teeming with chironomids, shrimp and other invertebrates. Fisheries research shows that these brook trout put on approximately 2 pounds in their third year, hence, the majority of fish caught will typically be 3 to 6 pound. Few trout under 2 pounds are caught. Growth rates are exceptional, as forage is heavy in given areas of the lake and water temperatures force seasonal movement. The lake record is 11 3/4 pounds.

The Retreat is comprised of guest cabins, a lounge/dining yurt, kitchen yurt, shower yurt, the guide shack, two outdoor flush toilets, and a utility shed housing our solar power system that runs our fridges and freezers, lighting, pressurized water system, stereo, and some other utilities. It’s simple, but considering how remote we are, it’s surprisingly comfortable.
