About this water
The Brule River in Cook County is a designated trout stream offering excellent brook trout and brown trout fishing in a remote north woods setting. The river's cold, clear water and abundant insect hatches make it a favorite among fly fishers seeking wild trout in a wilderness atmosphere. Wading is the primary access method, with numerous pools and riffles holding fish throughout the season.
