CELEBRATIONS THIS SUMMER IN NIPIGON and  THE NIPIGON HISTORICAL MUSEUM

THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CATCHING OF THE WORLD RECORD SPECKLED TROUT IN THE NIPIGON RIVER BY DR. COOK OF FORT WILLIAM (now part of Thunder Bay) ONTARIO, CANADA

Painting for display purposes. 31 and a half inch brook trout.

Starting July 17, 2015 Nipigon is planning a three day festival. The Nipigon Historical Museum will continue and also celebrate the actual day, July 21, 1915-2015. with special people and displays.

The World Record Speckled Trout travelled much of its life and we are curious if any readers can recall a relative or friend having seen it, maybe at Sportsman Shows throughout Canada and United States of America?
