Algonquin Park- Small streams

[grayer]

Although there are many posts on the forum about Algonquin, I do have a question about small stream fishing up there. I am planning a trip for the summer to photograph birds and other wildlife in the park, but I am also wanting to bring along my 3wt to try to get into some streams for brookies. Now I am not looking for any specific locations, but my question is, do I have to venture off the HWY60 corridor to find small streams (from looking online it seems like many big lakes rather than streams)? I am unfamiliar with the park which is why I ask. It seems that the more popular locations are on or around hwy 60. If anyone has any info that would be fantastic. If you are kind enough to direct me to an area, don't be shy to PM me.

Cheers.

Its a powerhouse of a map and the info is spot on - it was a collective project where the designer got intel from park staff and canoe trippers.

Heres my thoughts of the area - most rocky streams that run through forests ( have running water and are shaded ) will hold brookies. Summer time its a bit more of a hassle to find them but they are there. If fish lots east of the park and this is where this information comes from. Also, a brookie fiend in the town of Barry's Bay catches them in swampy, lilly pad creeks but damn never had luck doing that. The tiny creeks hold tiny fish but take you through the most amazing scenery. Let me know when you're up there, I spend tonnes of time east of the park.
