Philippe Poirier (aka: Philou) and Alan Lande recently returned home from a trip to Anne Marie Lodge. While they were visiting the lodge, they caught much more than just big brookies, they caught some great video! Take a look at their adventure with Coopers’ Minipi Lodges.

The Spirit of Minipi from Philippe Poirier on Vimeo.

Poirier is a retired pro freeskier, having competed in many events, including the Red Bull Crashed Ice competition, the US Open Big Air, and has medalled at the X-Games. He’s also a great fisherman.

“This was my third time over at Minipi and I love it. My best area to fish is the Little Minipi river because I love to walk around the river and throw my fly wherever I think there’s a fish,” said Poirier.

“The spirit there is awesome, very quiet and also very pure. I like the fact that I can bring an empty bottle of water and just fill it from the river.”

Poirier’s fishing tips & advice!

– Bring a #5 or up rod
– Get some solid tippet 8pds and up, some of those brookie attacks are vicious, and you can also encounter some pikes!
– Respect the environment
– Enjoy the best trout fishing spot in the world!!
