Algonquin Area
* Barron River is primarily a smallmouth bass fishery. There are other lakes in the area with trout.
* Galeairy Lake near Whitney has rock bass (very big ones) and smallmouth bass. The Madawaska River contains walleye and smallmouth bass at the base of the dam.
* Lake Louisa has good Lake Trout fishing, but you need a canoe to access it and some portaging is required to get there.
* Oxtongue river, at the west end of the park, has brook trout. Easy access from the highway.
Aquitaine Lake
Aquitaine has a small but healthy stock of both large and smallmouth bass. It was initially stocked with rainbow but has had dissolved oxygen problems which limit thier survival. A lot of rehab has been directed to soften the shoreline and create a greater diversity of wetland species. Recently a greater number of perch are being caught as well as the usual sunfish.
Aylen Lake
Smallmouth bass and Lake Trout make up the fishery. Classic structure and techniques work for both. The lake gets a fair bit of local pressure in the winter for both Lake Trout and Whitefish. While you're there, look at a map and find Wilkinson Lake, just north of Aylen. It's a good hike into it but it is worth it, lots of small Lake Trout, great camp sites etc. Remember, no live bait.
Balsam Lake
* Try for smallmouth right in front of the swimming area in the park. Also go south near the large log style home. Try for walleye about 80 feet out during the day and closer in the sunset hours. If nothing is happening there, go across the lake and around the first bend until you are betwwen the islands and the shore in seven feet.
* SE corner of Hogg Island has a large weedbed extending to deep water. Work the edge of the weedbed between 10 to 15' of water. You can generally pick up largemouth and some walleye here. For smallmouth, try the SW corner by the small island.
Beaver River
* At Kimberly (near Talisman). There is a lot of private property in that area, but the accessible areas still have some good numbers of trout. Personally I caught some nice sized browns and brookies. There's also some rainbows in that area.
Belwood Lake
* This is a shallow reservoir that contains a good pike population as well as other species of fish. It is better early in the year because the water level drops during summer.
* There are said to be a lot of bass here as well. Rumor has it that perch are next to be stocked in this lake since it's average temperature is considered fairly high in the summer. The town of Belwood is located at the East end of the lake and houses all the amenities you would probably need.
Big Bald Lake
* Plenty of musky here, but if you stick to standard pickerel methods (jigs,walking sinkers, slip bobbers etc. tipped with leech or minnow), you can usually hook into a few. Work the weed lines and shoals. Great lake to fish,but get a map (Trent nav.map#2024). It is extremely dangerous without it!
* Expect to catch a few small musky in Big Bald and while your reeling them in exspect to get hit by bigger musky. There are musky everywhere. It's like a little Stoney Lake with lo's of rock shoals and clear water. It has good smallmouth fishing and you'll find walleyes as well. Purple grubs and black bucktails are good choices around the scattered weed clumps.
Big Creek
* Big Creek in Delhi, the Big Otter Creek, as well as the Grand River.(Lake Erie) Grand has a lot of good spots. The higher up stream you go the better but check out the regulations first before you do anything.
Boshkung Lake
Nice lake, but not many fish. There are lake trout there, but you'll have to work very hard to get one.
Brandy lake
For smallmouth, use a jig, twister tail and minnow combination. If no hits, cut the tail off the jig. Try white tails, yellow and black. If this does not work try buck-tail jigs in the same way using the same colours but tipped with a minnow.
Bruce Peninsula
* Upper Bruce. Most of the inland lakes up here have lots of smallish Pike and some Bass. Both Sm and Lg are present. If you are lucky, you may tie into the occasional walleye too. Chesley Lake does have a put and take walleye population. Some of the smaller creeks have Specks and Rainbows. There are lots of coldwater creeks up here but be careful of sanctuaries. Most of the lakes are pretty shallow and you may find that floating plugs work best. Gillies Lake has a good Laker population.
* Tobermory. The water in Tobermory is big and deep. A local tour operator says that you can catch lakers and whitefish out in the vicinity of Flowerpot Island. If you don't have a boat, try some of the smaller creeks and rivers. Spring Creek has a good reputation, but watch for sanctuaries! The smaller inland lakes can be quite good too. Cyprus, Gillies and Cameron all have good reputations. Warmwater species can be had at Stokes Bay or Pike Bay and there are good pike and bass opportunities at Sac Lake and the Rankin River system.
Canal Lake
Night fishing. Take highway 48 north from markham and keep following it north until you reach Centennial Park Road (highway 33). This will take you straight out into the lake. There is plenty of room to fish from shore; at night, the best place to be is at the second bridge. Bring plenty of minnows and worms.
Chapleau Area
Two lakes that are consistently great are Prairie Bee about 20 km west of Chapleau (lots of classic structure etc.) but better still, if you camp, try Missinaibie Lake - really a super fishery. Others in the general area that are great are Biscotasing and Indian Lake (look off the Sultan Ramsey Road running west off Hwy 144 about halfway between Sudbury and Timmins).
Coboconk
On Cameron Lake. There are 2 public launches here. The one close to Coboconk is down stream from the Rosedale dam. The other is in Fenelon Falls, North-East of the Highway 121 and 35A intersection.
Cold Creek
In Brighton. Brookies as well as browns, fallfish, chub, & rockbass. If possible, try to get out the day after a rain and fish the fast runs for brookies and the deeper holes and log jams for browns.
Crane Lake
This is a beautiful spot. There are said to be specks in the Crane River. The word in these parts is to go small. The river flows right under Hwy 6 and there is a little park right there where you can park and picnic.
Crowe Lake
* The first bay that's full of weeds has many pike and muskie. Topwater baits work well here.
* Lots of Muskie in Crowe, but no monsters
Lake Dalrymple
* The south half of the lake, has mostly largemouth and pike.The north end seems to have more structure, and is the area for walleye and smallmouth, but largemouth and pike are caught there as well. are there also. Musky are found in the north half by Avery Point. Souith of the point's south side has a shoal in 20ft of water that rises up quite shallow.The south east shore has a good drop off, and the shore is soft bottom. This is a good area for walleye, pike and musky. The far north shore all the way around the big point, from the north west to the north east is good for largemouth, smallmouth and walleye wherever there's rock or riprap.
* If you go in June be prepared to look long and hard for walleye. Avery Point is a good bet, as well as the "shoal" between Avery Point and the narrows. If you fish at night your results will be much better. Also, along the east side of the lake there is a deep drop-off that goes to 30 feet from about 5 feet, back troll with a "lindy rig" with a worm or leech if you go near the middle of June. From the Picnic Area on the east side to the narrows has produced some big walleye near dusk in the many years we've fished there. Night - use body baits like Luhr-Jensen "power dive" minnow Day - back troll with lindy rig use two feet of leader a small wire hook.
* There's Pike, Small Mouth, Large Mouth Bass, Walleye, Muskie, Catfish, Jumbo Perch. A good method is trolling nice and slow with a worm harness and a nice fat dew worm.
Dog Lake
The best spot is at the waterfalls; many pike and a few walleye. Never got skunked there once. It may be a fish sanctuary, so check the signs that are posted in the area before you try it. Also, if you go up the falls there is a little path off to the left side that leads to another lake. The path is about 50 yrds. long. Another group went in there and caught a 21lb. pike!
Duncan Lake
Near Gowganda Not a great lake. Some small walleye, pencil pike and small lakers.
Eels Creek
* Good walleye fishing near the mouth. There is a late summer run of ciscoes, which are small but a lot of fun on sicking flies. I have not seen any brookies all the times I have been fishing there. I know a lot of the creeks in the area do hold brookies.
* The stretch of river between Stoney Lake and Hwy 28 holds both kinds of bass, muskie and walleye.
Lake Eugenia
It holds some really large bass. Unfortunately the pressure on the lake and the development around the lake has steadily increased. If you go, be very carefull on the east side of the lake: lots of stumps and logs. Best areas are the logs and stumps on the northeast side of the lake, and the weed line off the northern edge of the big island. Release the bass and keep some panfish and maybe the lake will return to what it once was.
Fairy Lake
It holds largemouth, pike, crappie and panfish. During the summer, it really becomes choked with weeds. If you go there, be sure to provide your own boat and trolling motor. Outboards aren't allowed. There are canoes for rent, but only from noon till 5 p.m. on weekends. There are areas deep enough for you to throw Bomber crankbaits, and cranks do catch fish. Use 14 to 17-pound test, especially if you're planning on working the slop. Overall, the fishery isn't bad.
Ganaraska River
* Fish the rapids above Biway pool for your rainbows!
* Exit Hwy 28 off the 401 and go south through the town of Port Hope, the river divides the town. When you reach the 2 train bridges near the lake your there. The west side of the river is the most accessible and best to fish. There is a road that circles the old "Crane" factory that is now used for storage of low level radioactive material (it's safe as long as you stay outside the fence). The most popular areas are under the west side of the bridge, the willows (you can't miss them) and the trench (an area by the boat ramp). My best area for night fishing is at the willows and daytime is at the trench. Other areas are the piers: there is an east pier and a west pier. Also, the area at the end of the factory serves as a centre pier. Off the piers, bottom fishing is popular but float fishing and lures account for many fish. Bring a long handled net for pier fishing as you're about 6 feet above the water. To get to the east pier start walking from the boat ramp area. The west pier is a shorter walk but more crowded. Just follow the road around the Cameco factory past the guardhouse and last gate to a parking area at the base of the pier. Please be cafeful when walking out to either pier as the rocks can be rough going. If it's icy, try the center factory area as it's safe. Another option is the harbour area between the Crane factory and Cameco. Here in the harbour there is always something swimming around the hotwater outflow but it's less productive than other areas.
Georgian Bay Rivers
* Georgian Bay river mouths in winter: Most of the bays are frozen around the edges so it's hard to get to the fish that sit in the bays waiting, however, most of the rivers stay fairly fishable, some of the best and least populated stealheading days are this time of year. F.Y.I. My three top picks for winter Stealies in the Georgian Bay area are #1, The Bighead #2, The Notty #3, The Syndenham although most rivers do produce good winter fishing.
Gloucester Pool
Try down from the big shute or marine railway during the week when boat traffic is low for smallmouth bass and walleye. Whites Falls was good several years ago for walleye. Also Litle Go Home Bay is good for Pike and Crappie. Musky at the mouth of bay in large sunken weed bed.
Grand River
* At Caledonia, fish the south side of the dam. By wading across (it is only about 3 feet deep) you stand on the rocks and cast into the fast water and let a variety of things drift, including roe, worms, minnows and lures.
* Get up to the north side of Elora. Go north up the "main street" to David St. (about 6 blocks from the bridge), turn left and head out of town. After about 3 or 4 km, you'll cross a small creek and head up a hill. At the top is a 4-way stop, turn left, ignoring the "Road/Bridge Closed" signs. Drive across the twin steel bridges and park on the right The Grand is Special Regs above this bridge, to the bottom end of Elora Gorge.
* Try the dam near Caledonia or the rapids at the York bridge for bass and walleye.
* You can find channel cats just below York idownstream of the rapids. Worms are best bait. Walleye and pike right at York.
Guelph Area
* Try the Eramosa River from Eden Mills to Stone Road for smallmouth (lots of pike and a few browns there, too). Blue Springs Creek enters the Eramosa at Eden Mills and is full of browns, brookies, and pike. Hanlon Creek (walking distance from the Campus) has a good brook trout population in the cedar swamp upstream from the Expressway.
* Guelph Lake. To get there from Oakville: Get on the 401 west via Trafalgar rd or Hwy 25. Exit Guelph Line North. Travel about 10 km on Guelph line. Left on Hwy 7 (sign posted for Guelph). Travel about 8 km on hwy 7. As you enter Guelph, right on Victoria Rd. Take Victoria through the eastern suburbs of Guelph and out again into the country (past Woodlawn Rd.). You will then go down into the Speed Valley. Take the first right after Speed River Drive ~1.5 Km and you are there.
* Speed River. Follow hwy 24 towards Cambridge. All through the Cambridge area there are bridges and most of them have good access points. If you're wading, your best bet is to use a green or firetiger No. 2-3 Mepps spinner, casting as close to the overhanging shore as possible. Both smallies and pike will hit it, and there are tons of them. If you're not wading, go to Riverside park, it's Cambridge's largest; anywhere in the park is good.
Hamilton Area
* Cootes Paradise. Great spot for big carp. Jigs and grubs work well, as do worms, corn, and cornmeal balls.
* Desjardins Canal. Take the QEW towards Hamilton to the 403 cutoff which is just outside Hamilton's boundaries. Take the York Street cutoff. Hamilton Bay will be on one side, Cootes Paradise will be on the other. You can park anywhere along York depending on where you want to fish. You will see the Canal connecting Hamilton Bay with Cootes Paradise. Walk down one of the many trials that lead to the river and pick a spot on the shore. You'll see where the fish are because Carp usually are at the surface.For carp, use quarter ounce jigs with yellow 3" twister tails. The advantage to using grubs is that you'll have a better chance at hooking into a pike or bass then if your using corn or doughballs. But if it's carp you're after, not much beats corn, doughballs or the old trusty worm. If you are going for, catfish use worms
* Desjardins Canal. In the spring and fall the canal can hold decent numbers of trout and salmon. Later on in the year the canal holds RECORD carp.
* Hamilton Bay (that would be to your left if you're coming from Toronto) has great numbers of large and smallmouth bass. They aren't fished at all. Get a boat and fish the weeds. You'll get pike as well. In the winter, you'll get nice numbers of pike and perch.
Harmony Creek
* From Toronto, east on 401 to Simcoe (417), south on Simcoe to Wentworth. East on Wentworth it turns into Colonel Sam Dr at Farewell St. The creek is about a half km farther. I've checked with the police on the posted signs. Was advised it belongs to the city and legal to fish.
Hart Lake
* The trout fishing is great, stocked at the first of the year. I have never seen carp taken from there, only bass, yes bass, and trout.
* Rainbows and bass. Use berkley power nuggets - hatchery formula, on a plain hook. Forget the spinners; the rainbows are stocked and finicky. They're all over the lake, but down 15-20 ft. There are some 3 lber's in there but I've never seen or heard of anyone getting one that big.
* Use Chartreuse Berkley power bait trout formula which you can use like doughballs used for carp. Make a round ball the size of your pinky nail and put it on a small hook so that it is barely visible except for the hook point and use it on 4 pound test line. Put a split shot about 2 feet away from your hook any cast it as far as you can. Don't use a float because there are hardly any snags on the bottom. The power bait floats so it will be 2 feet off the bottom where the trouth can see it. Try Heart Lake for bass in the summer.
* Berkley Power bait is the best. Sometimes the brown nuggets, sometimes green, you just have to experiment. Fish the nuggetts on a small egg hook with a slip sinker. The best is to go near the boat rentals, cast out app. 75 - 100' with a 6 - 10' leader. Also, small worms with minature marshmallows work.
Kawartha Lakes
You'll find a great variety of species to fish for such as Muskie, Walleye, LM Bass, SM Bass, a variety of Panfish, and Pike in some lakes. Excellent lakes are Stoney, Buckhorn, and Sturgeon. If you fish Rice lake, be prepared for plenty of weed cover.
Kendall
The crown land area is on #9 about 6 km east of 35/115. It is on the south side of the road and is posted. If you reach the town of Kendall you went too far. There is access south of #9, but I don't how much. Last time I was there, I walked in about an hour and I could've kept going.Best of luck.
Key River
Great pike fishing in the lower part of the river as well as good Muskie action in the bay near the mouth. There is good bass and crappie fishing east of hwy 69. Georgian Bay Fishing Camp is an hour boat ride from Key Marina, and is in the middle of excellent Muskie and Pike water. The Bustard Islands are 20 minutes from the camp (located near the mouth of the French river) and is an excellent spot for Smallmouth Bass.
Lingham Lake
* Drive your vehicle to the end of the dirt road and if you have a canoe or small lightweight boat carry it down the trail to the lake. The bass fishing is good but youll catch 10 or twelve small fish for every 3lb. plus fish. The lake is very shallow so the bass tend to use the abundant shoreline cover and if you can find the odd weedbed, that will also produce. Don't neglect rocky outcroppings mixed with bushes or sparse weeds, they usually produce the bigger fish, although you'll have to work for them. Jig and Pigs and spinnerbaits are the most productive baits.
* Drive up highway 62 towards Bancroft. An old logging road named Scootamatta Rd will take you into the bush. After a half hour drive there will be a major right hand turn (forget all the smaller dirt trails). It will be after the hydro line (about 10 minutes after). Take that right hand turn and drive until you can't drive any more. You will cross some small bridges on the way. At the end there is a hidden right hand turn that is very steep and is mostly a rock face. You can park your vehicle up there (if you can get up there). Take the trail about 1 mile down to the Black River and drop in your canoe. You have just reached the north east tip of the lake. There are hundreds of small islands you can paddle to for a weekend (or week) of absolute fishing heaven. This alternate route is quite an adventure and is used by guides to bring in their guests. It's not for softies.
London Area Rivers
* Check out the river mouths at places like Bayfield, Goderich, Southamton, all up the Huron shore. I suggest you check out the regs before going.
Long Point Area
* Deer Creek is on County Rd 45, just off 59 between Langton and Walsingham.
* If you're fishing Long Point, watch out for trap nets in the Inner bay.They aren't that well marked.
Loughborough Lake
From Kingston take Division St. North, maybe 10 km. Division goes right over the lake so you shouldn't have a hard time finding it. Lake is shallow to the east of Division (Bass) and deep to the west (Lakers). If you hit Big Rideau you've gone way too far. If you're fishing for lakers, try Devils Lake instead.
Lovesick Lake
* Lovesick has Bass, Walleye, and Muskie.
* You'll get big muskie (by Kawartha standards) in the main boat channel next to week beds and islands. In spring, excellent walleye action below any of the dams at the upstream end of the lake. Fish edges of weed beds with plain or rubber/dew worm-dressed yellow jigs.
Mississippi Lake
There are 2 public boat launches in Carleton Place just across the bridge. Best places to try in Mississipi Lake starting from big lake are Anchor point; in third lake around crab island; in second lake, McGibbon Bay. Apparently Dinkey Dooly Island by Code Bay have bass over 6 pounds. In first Lake nearest to Carleton, try Kinch bay, a hotspots for Largemouth and Smallmouth bass.
Mitchell Lake
* Off Hwy. 48, on the south side and cast bucktails along the shallow marked boat channel. There is an excellent population of musky in the fall and just after opener. If you follow that channel to the south, after a short boat ride (5min) you'll hit Balsam lake, a great muskie and walleye lake. Cast bucktails along weed edges at south east bays or troll believers -- magic depth in that lake is 12ft. The rocky shoals and sunken islands also hold good walleye.
* Between Canal lake and Balsam lake. Very good lake for bigmouth.
Mountsberg Reservoir
* It holds crappie and largemouth bass, but you cannot wade into the water or use a canoe until the bass season opens. It is very weed-choked, but produces some nice size largemouth.
* The key to success is to fish the deep water early in the season. The deep water is located in the south-west corner of the portion of the reservoir north of the tracks (i.e. the corner by the dam.). The fish are always on the bottom. Crankbaits and plastic jigs produce the best results. Try anywhere between the dam and the culvert that bisects the railway tracks.
Nanticoke Power Plant
* The best way to fish it is to start out by the walls at the outlet and fish your way in.Three prime spots are 1. On the left hand side as you move in there is a big boulder at the end of the silver wall. 2. Fish about 30-60ft out from the wall towards the lake on the left hand side where the current breaks are. 3. Find approx. 15 ft of water in the same area and head east trolling the 15 ft depth.
* For bass, if it's calm, try the shoal at the end of the ship channel bouys. Anywhere there are rocks should produce fish.
Niagara River
* Good fishing at the Whirlpool. From Toronto, QEW over the Skyway bridge, take hwy 420 to Queenston, just before USA customs, turn off at exit ramp, at stopsign turn right on Niagara Parkway, 3-4 miles to parking lot on left (opposite) Whirlpool Golf Course and just past Spanish Aerocar terminus. Park and hike trail down to the whirlpool. It's steep but worth the effort.
* Go down the paved road which leads to the Maid of the Mist. Turn and walk towards the falls. Lots of little eddies and very few fishermen.
* You can drive down the hydro access road, stop by the little turn off area and walk down the water run off to "pebbly beach". You can get back upstream to the whirpool from there and down to the power plant.
* The whirlpool is a bend in the Niagra river about 3 miles down stream from the falls. Because it's such a sharp bend, the water has carved out a small, very deep lake about 1/4 of a mile across. The water in this lake flows in a circular motion, and actually forms a visible whirlpool in the middle. The current also changes direction every few minutes. I wouldn't attemt hiking over to the entrance of the pool if there is any snow or ice. The trail is on a 30 degree bank and if you fall you're toast.)
* For shore fishing, you can fish the Lower Niagara River at the Queenston boat launch or at the Niagara Glen. Bring heavy weights and expect lots of snags. If you have a boat, fish the sand bars in Lake Ontario off the mouth of the Niagara River. You can try shore fishing off the Niagara Parkway or fish in the river (be very sure of your motor!). Further up the QEW, you can fish Port Dalousie (in St. Catherines) or Jordan Harbor.
* There's a steep trail that you can take down to the whirlpool that runs off a a small park opposite the Whirlpool Golf Course. Just up towards the city from the Aerocar terminus. The trail extends around the whirlpool and up to the powerplant. You can fish all along there. The other way is to catch the shore trail at Queenston and walk that way up to the Powerplant from that end.
* Walk upstream from the Queenston boat launch and find a place to climb down the hill. Bottom bounce roe, yarn or jigs, with enough lead to get to the bottom. Be prepared for plenty of hang-ups though, and don't worry too much about casting too far. Often the fish will hit right at your feet. Make sure your spooled up with good abrasion-resistant line - and lots of it. If these fish get into the current they'll spool you in no time and there's no place to really chase them. This fishing isn't for you couch-potato types. It's one of the only places I know where you have to rappel to go fishing. The 40-50 feet down and back up that hill will make you pay heavy dues for every fish you hook. Besides, the firemen get enough experience fishing idiots out after they go over the falls - in barrels or otherwise.
* Late fall and winter, try bottom bouncing with a small piece of pencil lead or bell sinker 1/3 oz., rigged sliding style with a 4-6 foot leader and either a small roe bag with floaters or yarn egg. Make sure the leader is long.
* Upper Niagara. There is a boat launch about a mile or two upstream from the falls at Chippewa creek. You can launch there and go out of the creek and make a quick right to travel upstream (make sure you know right from left for this manouver. There is good muskie and pike fishing upstream of the big island near the canadian side.
* The only place you should even consider going in a small boat is right in front of the boat launch. There is a drop off there that the shore anglers try to cast to. That's where a lot of fish hang out. Sometimes boaters just sit off there and jig. To get there take QEW to Hwy 405 to Queenston. You get off just before the border tolls. Turn left at the T, go to the stop sign and turn right down the long hill. Go through the intersection and make the first right. Follow it down till you see the sign for the boat launch. The entrance goes to the right.
* There is easy access at the Queenston boat launch dock and the nearby areas. Go up river from the launch ramp for trout and down river from the ramp for warm water species.
Lake Nipissing
The sand flats out by the sanitation plant near the Government Dock always have fish on opening weekend, but attract just as many anglers. A good plan is Callander Bay as well as the south shore. The area near Wasi Falls in Callander Bay is a good bet, as well as the mouth of South River on the south shore. The usual fare will work (jigs tipped with live bait). You'll probably find Nipissing walleyes aren't overly big, but sure are abundant. Best of luck.
Onaman Lake
(nakina area) The water here is tea-stained. Try a Super Shad at 10' or deeper. Great for walleyes. Also, for walleye and pike use a #7 silver Quickfish, 10' to 15'; paint a 1/4" blue strip along the back and bottom. For pike, try a #4 black fury spinner. The best lure for walleye is a black or yellow 1/4 oz jig with a lake shiner. Another good pike lure is a 3 1/2" yellow Rattling Spot. If you get a chance, try the Ogoki River for excellent pike and walleye fishing. Launch at the Ottertail river. When you get to the Ogoki River, go right. After about five mins you will see a small channel to a lake. Go straight accross the lake where you will see a very weedy channel with lots of pin weeds. This goes to another lake good for camping. Both lakes are good for pike up to 25lbs for walleye. Go back to the Otter and go left on the Ogoki. After about 10 mins, you will come to an island in the middle of the river. To the left of the island, it is deeper, dropping off from a four foot ledge to a 25 foot hole. Excellent big walleye and monster pike if you keep going up the river. You will come to a wide falls. Fish a jig and minnow into the deep holes very close to the falls. Whatever you do, forget using worms or leeches: they do not work.
Orangeville Reservoir
* To locate pike here, troll floating, jointed Rapalas, chartruese or perch pattern J-7's and J-9's. If it is a hot sunny day, try the northeast arm of the lake where the old roadbed used to be. It's a good area to drift with jigs or shiners. Power Baits are really effective for bass there, particularly the pumpkinseed pattern with twister tails. Use a slow retrieve and let the fish take the worm for a bit before setting the hook. Aviod using too much terminal tackle. Even swivels can add to weed snags. Use weedless jig heads to avoid the weeds.
* Bass outnumber the pike by far. If you want to catch pike, try the open area near the dam. Use deep diving crankbaits such as the bomber Model A's or the rapala fat raps. Any deep diving lure will work though. Also try using a jig with pork on the bottom for those lazy, sluggish pike. For bass, work the shallows in front of the boat rentals and to the right from there. In the deep water near the submerged trees in the far right of that finger, try floating rapalas, shallow crankbaits such as the luhr jehnson brush baby or the bomber model A. You can also try casting jigs with twister tails around the wood. In the main finger in the shallower, more weedy water, use spinnerbaits (white, black, and chartreuse). Imitation frogs and worms are productive in the weedy areas. Cast them along the weed breaks or holes and hope for the best. Remember if you are going to texas rig your worms, set the hook with a passion. It's not light trout angling. Pulling bass out of the muck is a little more difficult.
* Match your crankbaits to the local forage fish. For instance, if fishing an area where perch are the main baitfish, use perch-patterned Rapalas. Orangeville has a lot of bass and catch and release is encouraged. There are also some fair sized catfish.
* With the warm weather the pike will begin to hit more consistantly. Try using spinners and spoons along the right finger in around 5' of water.
* For pike, the best spot seems to be in the soutwest area of the lake, as the water is deeper. For bass, try the east end. You should find good cover for Bass fishing throughout most of the lake. Boat rental is $25 during the week, and $50 on the weekend. It pays to reserve a boat on weekends.
Ottawa Area
During the summer, try the Ottawa River's rapids. You can lauch a boat from many sites downstream. If you're looking for non-stop action,try for the river's walleyes and smallmouth bass. But, if you prefer larger game, try the Rideau Canal for Gar Pike.
Owen Sound
Go out 1 kilometre until you reach a shoal that juts out. Fish here 35 to 40' down (25 feet early in the morning). As the day progresses, fish the tip and sides of the shoal in about 95' of water, 50' down 50' back, with a white and blue or black back. The thermocline is 60' down. You should catch most fish in the morning but the bigger fish are caught mid-day. When all the boats have gone in, it will pay to stay out.
Port Dalhousie
You can fish from shore at either the marina or Legion side. Best thing is to check the outflow of the dam and fish where the current is best, usually the marina side. Try bottom bouncing with pencil lead. Lots of guys use roe, sometimes white twister tails, streamer flies. Starting late February to early March, use minnows.
Port Maitland
Perch don't usually start coming in until late April to the middle of May. Walleye can be caught off the pier early in the season as they like the running water of the nearby river. However, it's quite rare and walleye are usually caught in the mouth of the Grand river. But be prepared to fish close to your neighbour since there is usually a lot of boats in spring.
Port Severn Area
Port Severn and Wabashene area has some good shore fishing at the dam for Steelhead in the spring and also walleye, pike, bass, and panfish throughout the season. Some very large walleye cruise the shoreline in this area in late October and November but are not that plentiful. The shore fishing is good for crappie in the spring around the docks in Penetang, Victoria Harbour, and also Port McNicoll.
Puslinch Lake
Puslinch Lake Puslinch Lake is one of this area's only non-man-made lakes. It has a marina on the north shore for public access. It contains mainly crappie, pike and perch. Its been rumoured to now also contain walleye.
Restoule Lake
Restoule is definatly a hard lake to fish, but if you're in the mood for walleye, try the South River. ITry the Small Hydro Chutes on the river, Bigham Chute, Mcnabb and Elliot. Also lots of small trout streams in the area (Commanda Creek, a little north of north Bay. If you get the time, try the North River, the Little and Big Jocko river).
Pine River
* The Pine river runs through the Alliston region. It is good water but access is a problem. In the few places you can get at the river there are 50 or so snag-crazy anglers fighting for elbow room. This is during the salmon run however, perhaps mid-season it is not as abrasive.
* The Pine River is accessible through the Provincial Fishing Area just east of Hornings Mills on River Road.
Saugeen River
* The best places to fish on opening day could be anywhere along the river. It really depends on water level. If it's high, I would fish near the dam in the washout area. Fish will come in and hold in the first pool below the dam before heading up the lift. If the water is not high then the fish could be down as far as the flats (in the open-all-year part of the river). This river has fresh runs of bows come in after the opener so I usually head up on a weekday to avoid the crowds.
Lake Scugog
* This is one of the best lakes for LM Bass and Musky, if you don't mind fishing the weeds. Walleyes also come in numbers. Try the mouth of the Nonquon River for LM Bass and the bouys near Goreski's resort for Walleye.
* For walleye, head out in the early morning off Gorezki's Marina on the inside of the red buoy (between the buoy and shore). This is best fished with a moderate drift using worm harnesses (2 hook) usually hot pink or chartruese and sometimes silver. If there is no drift, try trolling up and down. Mid-day: between the red and green buoy. Late afternoon: inside the green buoy. If nothing's biting, try the top of the lake at the last bend going right (where the public launch is). Make the right and count three sets of buoys from the bend. Using the same techniques, drift buoy to buoy.
Shelter Valley
* The river that runs next to the Shelter Valley camp grounds is the Maitland river. If you hike about 15 minutes downstream from the camp grounds, on the same side of the river as the camp grounds, you will find some high clay banks with cedar springs trickling cold water into a very deep pool that has rock outcroppings. From these rocks you fish the pool. Across the river from the rock is a gravel/sand bar that drops off dramatically. You can cross upstream and fish from the gravel bar as well.
Lake Simcoe
* Cook's Bay has an excellent largemouth fishery and the potential for big fish here is excellent. Cook's bay is large and there are many places the fish may hang out but good spots to try include the cattail marsh at the south end of the bay, the banks of the Holland river and weed beds by the breakwall at the Maskinonge river in front of Dawson's marina in Keswick. Unfortunately because most of the land around these areas is private, you really need a boat to access the best fishing. There are a couple of public areas were you can try from shore, but largemouth catches there are incidental and people catch mostly panfish and carp.
* Roaches Point. (Winter) A few pike are caught early in the season as well as some whitefish early and late. I know crappies are there during softwater.
Six Mile Lake
There are plenty of crappie, pike, walleye, and Smallmouth Bass.The lake has a very irregular bottom with lots of rocky points and weedbeds throughout.
Stoney Lake
Boat rentals. The Park Motel and Hotel, Sportsman Hotel and Stricker's Resort. This is agood choice for a fishing adventure. Stoney has some awsome structure.
Sturgeon Lake
There is a public boat launch at Pleasant Point. There is great fishing just off the government dock. To get there, drive into Lindsay and proceed to highway 36 until you run into Pleasant Point Road. Drive to the end of the road and the government dock is right there.
Sydenham River
* Most of the guys I see fish off the east side. Just go into downtown Owen Sound and you will cross the river. Turn right at the next street and it will take you out along the river. Parking all over. Follow the road around and you can fish the Pottawatami, to the second bridge, I think. Check your regs. To go up the east side, take the street before the bridge and just keep to the road by the water. Again, lots of parking.
Sylvan Glen
* Take Hwy 106 and where it crosses the Ganny is the Sylvan Glen. It's about 3 miles of excellent water to fish. Stay on the north side of the Hwy.(there's a private club on the south side). There's an acess road about 1 mile west of the river crossing. That road will get you closser to the good runs.
Trent River
For walleye, fish between locks 2 & 3,but be prepared for only small fish here. If you have a boat, fish below #1 (right in town) or above the dam at Frankford. Try jigs and rapalas (white, black & combo jigs, dead slow) (big 13P perch or black and silver rapalas, shad raps & wally divers too).
Trenton to Kingston Rivers
* Millhaven Creek, just west of Kingston near the town of Bath, has a very good run of Browns and some Chinooks in the fall. In late November and early December some Rainbows can be found in the first few pools up from the lake. Spring sees the rainbows back in but it can be hit or miss as the run can sometimes be over by the time the season opens. The larger rivers in the area, eg.Trent, Moira, Salmon ,Napanee, also host runs of salmonids but due to their size and dams a short ways upstream, the fishing can be tough.
Valens CA
* Go north on hwy# 6 off of hwy#403 to hwy#97 west (you will see the conservation area sign(s). The park is on hwy#97.
* The best areas to fish are deep weeds for huge largmouths and deep weedlines and flats for big pike!
* You can launch small boats and use electric motors (no gas allowed). As well Valens has a really good ice fishing.
* It is not the greatest fishery around that area. Drive down the road ten minutes to Shades Mill C.A. where the largemouth fishing is great and the pike in the flats make for some great fishing from a boat. You may even hook into a lost brown coming downstream from Mill Creek.
Lake Wakomata
Lot's of lakers and whitefish. But Basswood is better.
Waterford Ponds
Located about half an hour past Hagersville. Take highway 6 out to Hagersville and take a right at the second right in the town. There is a sign to Waterford at that light. The road is just before a boat or truck dealership. After you take a right you'll come across 4 quarries, two on right, two on left. Follow the signs to the ponds. There are numerous ponds, all interwoven. Remember like Orangeville and Valens, no motors allowed. Electric trolling or small gas (such as 3 horse and below) are permitted.
Weslemkoon Lake
* Great lake for bass. Use live bait such as big minnows.
* Weslemkoon lake is a good SM & LM Bass lake at times, but the big fish aren't as common as they once were. There is still some good Lake Trout fishing in Weslemkoon.
Wilmot Creek
* If you are coming from Toronto it is the first cut off past hwy 115/35. You drive over the Wilmot just before the cut off. Once you're off the Hwy, keep going straight and follow the road around as far as it goes. Park before the water safety treatment plant. Then you just walk down to the mouth. People casting into the lake get some nice bows if the fish are around.
* Wilmot 401 east to Mill street (past bowmanville) and go staright after you hit the off ramp stop sign. Continue to travel straight and park where everyone else does. Can't miss it if fish are running.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

Algonquin Area
* Barron River is primarily a smallmouth bass fishery. There are other lakes in the area with trout.
* Galeairy Lake near Whitney has rock bass (very big ones) and smallmouth bass. The Madawaska River contains walleye and smallmouth bass at the base of the dam.
* Lake Louisa has good Lake Trout fishing, but you need a canoe to access it and some portaging is required to get there.
* Oxtongue river, at the west end of the park, has brook trout. Easy access from the highway.
Aquitaine Lake
Aquitaine has a small but healthy stock of both large and smallmouth bass. It was initially stocked with rainbow but has had dissolved oxygen problems which limit thier survival. A lot of rehab has been directed to soften the shoreline and create a greater diversity of wetland species. Recently a greater number of perch are being caught as well as the usual sunfish.
Aylen Lake
Smallmouth bass and Lake Trout make up the fishery. Classic structure and techniques work for both. The lake gets a fair bit of local pressure in the winter for both Lake Trout and Whitefish. While you're there, look at a map and find Wilkinson Lake, just north of Aylen. It's a good hike into it but it is worth it, lots of small Lake Trout, great camp sites etc. Remember, no live bait.
Balsam Lake
* Try for smallmouth right in front of the swimming area in the park. Also go south near the large log style home. Try for walleye about 80 feet out during the day and closer in the sunset hours. If nothing is happening there, go across the lake and around the first bend until you are betwwen the islands and the shore in seven feet.
* SE corner of Hogg Island has a large weedbed extending to deep water. Work the edge of the weedbed between 10 to 15' of water. You can generally pick up largemouth and some walleye here. For smallmouth, try the SW corner by the small island.
Beaver River
* At Kimberly (near Talisman). There is a lot of private property in that area, but the accessible areas still have some good numbers of trout. Personally I caught some nice sized browns and brookies. There's also some rainbows in that area.
Belwood Lake
* This is a shallow reservoir that contains a good pike population as well as other species of fish. It is better early in the year because the water level drops during summer.
* There are said to be a lot of bass here as well. Rumor has it that perch are next to be stocked in this lake since it's average temperature is considered fairly high in the summer. The town of Belwood is located at the East end of the lake and houses all the amenities you would probably need.
Big Bald Lake
* Plenty of musky here, but if you stick to standard pickerel methods (jigs,walking sinkers, slip bobbers etc. tipped with leech or minnow), you can usually hook into a few. Work the weed lines and shoals. Great lake to fish,but get a map (Trent nav.map#2024). It is extremely dangerous without it!
* Expect to catch a few small musky in Big Bald and while your reeling them in exspect to get hit by bigger musky. There are musky everywhere. It's like a little Stoney Lake with lo's of rock shoals and clear water. It has good smallmouth fishing and you'll find walleyes as well. Purple grubs and black bucktails are good choices around the scattered weed clumps.
Big Creek
* Big Creek in Delhi, the Big Otter Creek, as well as the Grand River.(Lake Erie) Grand has a lot of good spots. The higher up stream you go the better but check out the regulations first before you do anything.
Boshkung Lake
Nice lake, but not many fish. There are lake trout there, but you'll have to work very hard to get one.
Brandy lake
For smallmouth, use a jig, twister tail and minnow combination. If no hits, cut the tail off the jig. Try white tails, yellow and black. If this does not work try buck-tail jigs in the same way using the same colours but tipped with a minnow.
Bruce Peninsula
* Upper Bruce. Most of the inland lakes up here have lots of smallish Pike and some Bass. Both Sm and Lg are present. If you are lucky, you may tie into the occasional walleye too. Chesley Lake does have a put and take walleye population. Some of the smaller creeks have Specks and Rainbows. There are lots of coldwater creeks up here but be careful of sanctuaries. Most of the lakes are pretty shallow and you may find that floating plugs work best. Gillies Lake has a good Laker population.
* Tobermory. The water in Tobermory is big and deep. A local tour operator says that you can catch lakers and whitefish out in the vicinity of Flowerpot Island. If you don't have a boat, try some of the smaller creeks and rivers. Spring Creek has a good reputation, but watch for sanctuaries! The smaller inland lakes can be quite good too. Cyprus, Gillies and Cameron all have good reputations. Warmwater species can be had at Stokes Bay or Pike Bay and there are good pike and bass opportunities at Sac Lake and the Rankin River system.
Canal Lake
Night fishing. Take highway 48 north from markham and keep following it north until you reach Centennial Park Road (highway 33). This will take you straight out into the lake. There is plenty of room to fish from shore; at night, the best place to be is at the second bridge. Bring plenty of minnows and worms.
Chapleau Area
Two lakes that are consistently great are Prairie Bee about 20 km west of Chapleau (lots of classic structure etc.) but better still, if you camp, try Missinaibie Lake - really a super fishery. Others in the general area that are great are Biscotasing and Indian Lake (look off the Sultan Ramsey Road running west off Hwy 144 about halfway between Sudbury and Timmins).
Coboconk
On Cameron Lake. There are 2 public launches here. The one close to Coboconk is down stream from the Rosedale dam. The other is in Fenelon Falls, North-East of the Highway 121 and 35A intersection.
Cold Creek
In Brighton. Brookies as well as browns, fallfish, chub, & rockbass. If possible, try to get out the day after a rain and fish the fast runs for brookies and the deeper holes and log jams for browns.
Crane Lake
This is a beautiful spot. There are said to be specks in the Crane River. The word in these parts is to go small. The river flows right under Hwy 6 and there is a little park right there where you can park and picnic.
Crowe Lake
* The first bay that's full of weeds has many pike and muskie. Topwater baits work well here.
* Lots of Muskie in Crowe, but no monsters
Lake Dalrymple
* The south half of the lake, has mostly largemouth and pike.The north end seems to have more structure, and is the area for walleye and smallmouth, but largemouth and pike are caught there as well. are there also. Musky are found in the north half by Avery Point. Souith of the point's south side has a shoal in 20ft of water that rises up quite shallow.The south east shore has a good drop off, and the shore is soft bottom. This is a good area for walleye, pike and musky. The far north shore all the way around the big point, from the north west to the north east is good for largemouth, smallmouth and walleye wherever there's rock or riprap.
* If you go in June be prepared to look long and hard for walleye. Avery Point is a good bet, as well as the "shoal" between Avery Point and the narrows. If you fish at night your results will be much better. Also, along the east side of the lake there is a deep drop-off that goes to 30 feet from about 5 feet, back troll with a "lindy rig" with a worm or leech if you go near the middle of June. From the Picnic Area on the east side to the narrows has produced some big walleye near dusk in the many years we've fished there. Night - use body baits like Luhr-Jensen "power dive" minnow Day - back troll with lindy rig use two feet of leader a small wire hook.
* There's Pike, Small Mouth, Large Mouth Bass, Walleye, Muskie, Catfish, Jumbo Perch. A good method is trolling nice and slow with a worm harness and a nice fat dew worm.
Dog Lake
The best spot is at the waterfalls; many pike and a few walleye. Never got skunked there once. It may be a fish sanctuary, so check the signs that are posted in the area before you try it. Also, if you go up the falls there is a little path off to the left side that leads to another lake. The path is about 50 yrds. long. Another group went in there and caught a 21lb. pike!
Duncan Lake
Near Gowganda Not a great lake. Some small walleye, pencil pike and small lakers.
Eels Creek
* Good walleye fishing near the mouth. There is a late summer run of ciscoes, which are small but a lot of fun on sicking flies. I have not seen any brookies all the times I have been fishing there. I know a lot of the creeks in the area do hold brookies.
* The stretch of river between Stoney Lake and Hwy 28 holds both kinds of bass, muskie and walleye.
Lake Eugenia
It holds some really large bass. Unfortunately the pressure on the lake and the development around the lake has steadily increased. If you go, be very carefull on the east side of the lake: lots of stumps and logs. Best areas are the logs and stumps on the northeast side of the lake, and the weed line off the northern edge of the big island. Release the bass and keep some panfish and maybe the lake will return to what it once was.
Fairy Lake
It holds largemouth, pike, crappie and panfish. During the summer, it really becomes choked with weeds. If you go there, be sure to provide your own boat and trolling motor. Outboards aren't allowed. There are canoes for rent, but only from noon till 5 p.m. on weekends. There are areas deep enough for you to throw Bomber crankbaits, and cranks do catch fish. Use 14 to 17-pound test, especially if you're planning on working the slop. Overall, the fishery isn't bad.
Ganaraska River
* Fish the rapids above Biway pool for your rainbows!
* Exit Hwy 28 off the 401 and go south through the town of Port Hope, the river divides the town. When you reach the 2 train bridges near the lake your there. The west side of the river is the most accessible and best to fish. There is a road that circles the old "Crane" factory that is now used for storage of low level radioactive material (it's safe as long as you stay outside the fence). The most popular areas are under the west side of the bridge, the willows (you can't miss them) and the trench (an area by the boat ramp). My best area for night fishing is at the willows and daytime is at the trench. Other areas are the piers: there is an east pier and a west pier. Also, the area at the end of the factory serves as a centre pier. Off the piers, bottom fishing is popular but float fishing and lures account for many fish. Bring a long handled net for pier fishing as you're about 6 feet above the water. To get to the east pier start walking from the boat ramp area. The west pier is a shorter walk but more crowded. Just follow the road around the Cameco factory past the guardhouse and last gate to a parking area at the base of the pier. Please be cafeful when walking out to either pier as the rocks can be rough going. If it's icy, try the center factory area as it's safe. Another option is the harbour area between the Crane factory and Cameco. Here in the harbour there is always something swimming around the hotwater outflow but it's less productive than other areas.
Georgian Bay Rivers
* Georgian Bay river mouths in winter: Most of the bays are frozen around the edges so it's hard to get to the fish that sit in the bays waiting, however, most of the rivers stay fairly fishable, some of the best and least populated stealheading days are this time of year. F.Y.I. My three top picks for winter Stealies in the Georgian Bay area are #1, The Bighead #2, The Notty #3, The Syndenham although most rivers do produce good winter fishing.
Gloucester Pool
Try down from the big shute or marine railway during the week when boat traffic is low for smallmouth bass and walleye. Whites Falls was good several years ago for walleye. Also Litle Go Home Bay is good for Pike and Crappie. Musky at the mouth of bay in large sunken weed bed.
Grand River
* At Caledonia, fish the south side of the dam. By wading across (it is only about 3 feet deep) you stand on the rocks and cast into the fast water and let a variety of things drift, including roe, worms, minnows and lures.
* Get up to the north side of Elora. Go north up the "main street" to David St. (about 6 blocks from the bridge), turn left and head out of town. After about 3 or 4 km, you'll cross a small creek and head up a hill. At the top is a 4-way stop, turn left, ignoring the "Road/Bridge Closed" signs. Drive across the twin steel bridges and park on the right The Grand is Special Regs above this bridge, to the bottom end of Elora Gorge.
* Try the dam near Caledonia or the rapids at the York bridge for bass and walleye.
* You can find channel cats just below York idownstream of the rapids. Worms are best bait. Walleye and pike right at York.
Guelph Area
* Try the Eramosa River from Eden Mills to Stone Road for smallmouth (lots of pike and a few browns there, too). Blue Springs Creek enters the Eramosa at Eden Mills and is full of browns, brookies, and pike. Hanlon Creek (walking distance from the Campus) has a good brook trout population in the cedar swamp upstream from the Expressway.
* Guelph Lake. To get there from Oakville: Get on the 401 west via Trafalgar rd or Hwy 25. Exit Guelph Line North. Travel about 10 km on Guelph line. Left on Hwy 7 (sign posted for Guelph). Travel about 8 km on hwy 7. As you enter Guelph, right on Victoria Rd. Take Victoria through the eastern suburbs of Guelph and out again into the country (past Woodlawn Rd.). You will then go down into the Speed Valley. Take the first right after Speed River Drive ~1.5 Km and you are there.
* Speed River. Follow hwy 24 towards Cambridge. All through the Cambridge area there are bridges and most of them have good access points. If you're wading, your best bet is to use a green or firetiger No. 2-3 Mepps spinner, casting as close to the overhanging shore as possible. Both smallies and pike will hit it, and there are tons of them. If you're not wading, go to Riverside park, it's Cambridge's largest; anywhere in the park is good.
Hamilton Area
* Cootes Paradise. Great spot for big carp. Jigs and grubs work well, as do worms, corn, and cornmeal balls.
* Desjardins Canal. Take the QEW towards Hamilton to the 403 cutoff which is just outside Hamilton's boundaries. Take the York Street cutoff. Hamilton Bay will be on one side, Cootes Paradise will be on the other. You can park anywhere along York depending on where you want to fish. You will see the Canal connecting Hamilton Bay with Cootes Paradise. Walk down one of the many trials that lead to the river and pick a spot on the shore. You'll see where the fish are because Carp usually are at the surface.For carp, use quarter ounce jigs with yellow 3" twister tails. The advantage to using grubs is that you'll have a better chance at hooking into a pike or bass then if your using corn or doughballs. But if it's carp you're after, not much beats corn, doughballs or the old trusty worm. If you are going for, catfish use worms
* Desjardins Canal. In the spring and fall the canal can hold decent numbers of trout and salmon. Later on in the year the canal holds RECORD carp.
* Hamilton Bay (that would be to your left if you're coming from Toronto) has great numbers of large and smallmouth bass. They aren't fished at all. Get a boat and fish the weeds. You'll get pike as well. In the winter, you'll get nice numbers of pike and perch.
Harmony Creek
* From Toronto, east on 401 to Simcoe (417), south on Simcoe to Wentworth. East on Wentworth it turns into Colonel Sam Dr at Farewell St. The creek is about a half km farther. I've checked with the police on the posted signs. Was advised it belongs to the city and legal to fish.
Hart Lake
* The trout fishing is great, stocked at the first of the year. I have never seen carp taken from there, only bass, yes bass, and trout.
* Rainbows and bass. Use berkley power nuggets - hatchery formula, on a plain hook. Forget the spinners; the rainbows are stocked and finicky. They're all over the lake, but down 15-20 ft. There are some 3 lber's in there but I've never seen or heard of anyone getting one that big.
* Use Chartreuse Berkley power bait trout formula which you can use like doughballs used for carp. Make a round ball the size of your pinky nail and put it on a small hook so that it is barely visible except for the hook point and use it on 4 pound test line. Put a split shot about 2 feet away from your hook any cast it as far as you can. Don't use a float because there are hardly any snags on the bottom. The power bait floats so it will be 2 feet off the bottom where the trouth can see it. Try Heart Lake for bass in the summer.
* Berkley Power bait is the best. Sometimes the brown nuggets, sometimes green, you just have to experiment. Fish the nuggetts on a small egg hook with a slip sinker. The best is to go near the boat rentals, cast out app. 75 - 100' with a 6 - 10' leader. Also, small worms with minature marshmallows work.
Kawartha Lakes
You'll find a great variety of species to fish for such as Muskie, Walleye, LM Bass, SM Bass, a variety of Panfish, and Pike in some lakes. Excellent lakes are Stoney, Buckhorn, and Sturgeon. If you fish Rice lake, be prepared for plenty of weed cover.
Kendall
The crown land area is on #9 about 6 km east of 35/115. It is on the south side of the road and is posted. If you reach the town of Kendall you went too far. There is access south of #9, but I don't how much. Last time I was there, I walked in about an hour and I could've kept going.Best of luck.
Key River
Great pike fishing in the lower part of the river as well as good Muskie action in the bay near the mouth. There is good bass and crappie fishing east of hwy 69. Georgian Bay Fishing Camp is an hour boat ride from Key Marina, and is in the middle of excellent Muskie and Pike water. The Bustard Islands are 20 minutes from the camp (located near the mouth of the French river) and is an excellent spot for Smallmouth Bass.
Lingham Lake
* Drive your vehicle to the end of the dirt road and if you have a canoe or small lightweight boat carry it down the trail to the lake. The bass fishing is good but youll catch 10 or twelve small fish for every 3lb. plus fish. The lake is very shallow so the bass tend to use the abundant shoreline cover and if you can find the odd weedbed, that will also produce. Don't neglect rocky outcroppings mixed with bushes or sparse weeds, they usually produce the bigger fish, although you'll have to work for them. Jig and Pigs and spinnerbaits are the most productive baits.
* Drive up highway 62 towards Bancroft. An old logging road named Scootamatta Rd will take you into the bush. After a half hour drive there will be a major right hand turn (forget all the smaller dirt trails). It will be after the hydro line (about 10 minutes after). Take that right hand turn and drive until you can't drive any more. You will cross some small bridges on the way. At the end there is a hidden right hand turn that is very steep and is mostly a rock face. You can park your vehicle up there (if you can get up there). Take the trail about 1 mile down to the Black River and drop in your canoe. You have just reached the north east tip of the lake. There are hundreds of small islands you can paddle to for a weekend (or week) of absolute fishing heaven. This alternate route is quite an adventure and is used by guides to bring in their guests. It's not for softies.
London Area Rivers
* Check out the river mouths at places like Bayfield, Goderich, Southamton, all up the Huron shore. I suggest you check out the regs before going.
Long Point Area
* Deer Creek is on County Rd 45, just off 59 between Langton and Walsingham.
* If you're fishing Long Point, watch out for trap nets in the Inner bay.They aren't that well marked.
Loughborough Lake
From Kingston take Division St. North, maybe 10 km. Division goes right over the lake so you shouldn't have a hard time finding it. Lake is shallow to the east of Division (Bass) and deep to the west (Lakers). If you hit Big Rideau you've gone way too far. If you're fishing for lakers, try Devils Lake instead.
Lovesick Lake
* Lovesick has Bass, Walleye, and Muskie.
* You'll get big muskie (by Kawartha standards) in the main boat channel next to week beds and islands. In spring, excellent walleye action below any of the dams at the upstream end of the lake. Fish edges of weed beds with plain or rubber/dew worm-dressed yellow jigs.
Mississippi Lake
There are 2 public boat launches in Carleton Place just across the bridge. Best places to try in Mississipi Lake starting from big lake are Anchor point; in third lake around crab island; in second lake, McGibbon Bay. Apparently Dinkey Dooly Island by Code Bay have bass over 6 pounds. In first Lake nearest to Carleton, try Kinch bay, a hotspots for Largemouth and Smallmouth bass.
Mitchell Lake
* Off Hwy. 48, on the south side and cast bucktails along the shallow marked boat channel. There is an excellent population of musky in the fall and just after opener. If you follow that channel to the south, after a short boat ride (5min) you'll hit Balsam lake, a great muskie and walleye lake. Cast bucktails along weed edges at south east bays or troll believers -- magic depth in that lake is 12ft. The rocky shoals and sunken islands also hold good walleye.
* Between Canal lake and Balsam lake. Very good lake for bigmouth.
Mountsberg Reservoir
* It holds crappie and largemouth bass, but you cannot wade into the water or use a canoe until the bass season opens. It is very weed-choked, but produces some nice size largemouth.
* The key to success is to fish the deep water early in the season. The deep water is located in the south-west corner of the portion of the reservoir north of the tracks (i.e. the corner by the dam.). The fish are always on the bottom. Crankbaits and plastic jigs produce the best results. Try anywhere between the dam and the culvert that bisects the railway tracks.
Nanticoke Power Plant
* The best way to fish it is to start out by the walls at the outlet and fish your way in.Three prime spots are 1. On the left hand side as you move in there is a big boulder at the end of the silver wall. 2. Fish about 30-60ft out from the wall towards the lake on the left hand side where the current breaks are. 3. Find approx. 15 ft of water in the same area and head east trolling the 15 ft depth.
* For bass, if it's calm, try the shoal at the end of the ship channel bouys. Anywhere there are rocks should produce fish.
Niagara River
* Good fishing at the Whirlpool. From Toronto, QEW over the Skyway bridge, take hwy 420 to Queenston, just before USA customs, turn off at exit ramp, at stopsign turn right on Niagara Parkway, 3-4 miles to parking lot on left (opposite) Whirlpool Golf Course and just past Spanish Aerocar terminus. Park and hike trail down to the whirlpool. It's steep but worth the effort.
* Go down the paved road which leads to the Maid of the Mist. Turn and walk towards the falls. Lots of little eddies and very few fishermen.
* You can drive down the hydro access road, stop by the little turn off area and walk down the water run off to "pebbly beach". You can get back upstream to the whirpool from there and down to the power plant.
* The whirlpool is a bend in the Niagra river about 3 miles down stream from the falls. Because it's such a sharp bend, the water has carved out a small, very deep lake about 1/4 of a mile across. The water in this lake flows in a circular motion, and actually forms a visible whirlpool in the middle. The current also changes direction every few minutes. I wouldn't attemt hiking over to the entrance of the pool if there is any snow or ice. The trail is on a 30 degree bank and if you fall you're toast.)
* For shore fishing, you can fish the Lower Niagara River at the Queenston boat launch or at the Niagara Glen. Bring heavy weights and expect lots of snags. If you have a boat, fish the sand bars in Lake Ontario off the mouth of the Niagara River. You can try shore fishing off the Niagara Parkway or fish in the river (be very sure of your motor!). Further up the QEW, you can fish Port Dalousie (in St. Catherines) or Jordan Harbor.
* There's a steep trail that you can take down to the whirlpool that runs off a a small park opposite the Whirlpool Golf Course. Just up towards the city from the Aerocar terminus. The trail extends around the whirlpool and up to the powerplant. You can fish all along there. The other way is to catch the shore trail at Queenston and walk that way up to the Powerplant from that end.
* Walk upstream from the Queenston boat launch and find a place to climb down the hill. Bottom bounce roe, yarn or jigs, with enough lead to get to the bottom. Be prepared for plenty of hang-ups though, and don't worry too much about casting too far. Often the fish will hit right at your feet. Make sure your spooled up with good abrasion-resistant line - and lots of it. If these fish get into the current they'll spool you in no time and there's no place to really chase them. This fishing isn't for you couch-potato types. It's one of the only places I know where you have to rappel to go fishing. The 40-50 feet down and back up that hill will make you pay heavy dues for every fish you hook. Besides, the firemen get enough experience fishing idiots out after they go over the falls - in barrels or otherwise.
* Late fall and winter, try bottom bouncing with a small piece of pencil lead or bell sinker 1/3 oz., rigged sliding style with a 4-6 foot leader and either a small roe bag with floaters or yarn egg. Make sure the leader is long.
* Upper Niagara. There is a boat launch about a mile or two upstream from the falls at Chippewa creek. You can launch there and go out of the creek and make a quick right to travel upstream (make sure you know right from left for this manouver. There is good muskie and pike fishing upstream of the big island near the canadian side.
* The only place you should even consider going in a small boat is right in front of the boat launch. There is a drop off there that the shore anglers try to cast to. That's where a lot of fish hang out. Sometimes boaters just sit off there and jig. To get there take QEW to Hwy 405 to Queenston. You get off just before the border tolls. Turn left at the T, go to the stop sign and turn right down the long hill. Go through the intersection and make the first right. Follow it down till you see the sign for the boat launch. The entrance goes to the right.
* There is easy access at the Queenston boat launch dock and the nearby areas. Go up river from the launch ramp for trout and down river from the ramp for warm water species.
Lake Nipissing
The sand flats out by the sanitation plant near the Government Dock always have fish on opening weekend, but attract just as many anglers. A good plan is Callander Bay as well as the south shore. The area near Wasi Falls in Callander Bay is a good bet, as well as the mouth of South River on the south shore. The usual fare will work (jigs tipped with live bait). You'll probably find Nipissing walleyes aren't overly big, but sure are abundant. Best of luck.
Onaman Lake
(nakina area) The water here is tea-stained. Try a Super Shad at 10' or deeper. Great for walleyes. Also, for walleye and pike use a #7 silver Quickfish, 10' to 15'; paint a 1/4" blue strip along the back and bottom. For pike, try a #4 black fury spinner. The best lure for walleye is a black or yellow 1/4 oz jig with a lake shiner. Another good pike lure is a 3 1/2" yellow Rattling Spot. If you get a chance, try the Ogoki River for excellent pike and walleye fishing. Launch at the Ottertail river. When you get to the Ogoki River, go right. After about five mins you will see a small channel to a lake. Go straight accross the lake where you will see a very weedy channel with lots of pin weeds. This goes to another lake good for camping. Both lakes are good for pike up to 25lbs for walleye. Go back to the Otter and go left on the Ogoki. After about 10 mins, you will come to an island in the middle of the river. To the left of the island, it is deeper, dropping off from a four foot ledge to a 25 foot hole. Excellent big walleye and monster pike if you keep going up the river. You will come to a wide falls. Fish a jig and minnow into the deep holes very close to the falls. Whatever you do, forget using worms or leeches: they do not work.
Orangeville Reservoir
* To locate pike here, troll floating, jointed Rapalas, chartruese or perch pattern J-7's and J-9's. If it is a hot sunny day, try the northeast arm of the lake where the old roadbed used to be. It's a good area to drift with jigs or shiners. Power Baits are really effective for bass there, particularly the pumpkinseed pattern with twister tails. Use a slow retrieve and let the fish take the worm for a bit before setting the hook. Aviod using too much terminal tackle. Even swivels can add to weed snags. Use weedless jig heads to avoid the weeds.
* Bass outnumber the pike by far. If you want to catch pike, try the open area near the dam. Use deep diving crankbaits such as the bomber Model A's or the rapala fat raps. Any deep diving lure will work though. Also try using a jig with pork on the bottom for those lazy, sluggish pike. For bass, work the shallows in front of the boat rentals and to the right from there. In the deep water near the submerged trees in the far right of that finger, try floating rapalas, shallow crankbaits such as the luhr jehnson brush baby or the bomber model A. You can also try casting jigs with twister tails around the wood. In the main finger in the shallower, more weedy water, use spinnerbaits (white, black, and chartreuse). Imitation frogs and worms are productive in the weedy areas. Cast them along the weed breaks or holes and hope for the best. Remember if you are going to texas rig your worms, set the hook with a passion. It's not light trout angling. Pulling bass out of the muck is a little more difficult.
* Match your crankbaits to the local forage fish. For instance, if fishing an area where perch are the main baitfish, use perch-patterned Rapalas. Orangeville has a lot of bass and catch and release is encouraged. There are also some fair sized catfish.
* With the warm weather the pike will begin to hit more consistantly. Try using spinners and spoons along the right finger in around 5' of water.
* For pike, the best spot seems to be in the soutwest area of the lake, as the water is deeper. For bass, try the east end. You should find good cover for Bass fishing throughout most of the lake. Boat rental is $25 during the week, and $50 on the weekend. It pays to reserve a boat on weekends.
Ottawa Area
During the summer, try the Ottawa River's rapids. You can lauch a boat from many sites downstream. If you're looking for non-stop action,try for the river's walleyes and smallmouth bass. But, if you prefer larger game, try the Rideau Canal for Gar Pike.
Owen Sound
Go out 1 kilometre until you reach a shoal that juts out. Fish here 35 to 40' down (25 feet early in the morning). As the day progresses, fish the tip and sides of the shoal in about 95' of water, 50' down 50' back, with a white and blue or black back. The thermocline is 60' down. You should catch most fish in the morning but the bigger fish are caught mid-day. When all the boats have gone in, it will pay to stay out.
Port Dalhousie
You can fish from shore at either the marina or Legion side. Best thing is to check the outflow of the dam and fish where the current is best, usually the marina side. Try bottom bouncing with pencil lead. Lots of guys use roe, sometimes white twister tails, streamer flies. Starting late February to early March, use minnows.
Port Maitland
Perch don't usually start coming in until late April to the middle of May. Walleye can be caught off the pier early in the season as they like the running water of the nearby river. However, it's quite rare and walleye are usually caught in the mouth of the Grand river. But be prepared to fish close to your neighbour since there is usually a lot of boats in spring.
Port Severn Area
Port Severn and Wabashene area has some good shore fishing at the dam for Steelhead in the spring and also walleye, pike, bass, and panfish throughout the season. Some very large walleye cruise the shoreline in this area in late October and November but are not that plentiful. The shore fishing is good for crappie in the spring around the docks in Penetang, Victoria Harbour, and also Port McNicoll.
Puslinch Lake
Puslinch Lake Puslinch Lake is one of this area's only non-man-made lakes. It has a marina on the north shore for public access. It contains mainly crappie, pike and perch. Its been rumoured to now also contain walleye.
Restoule Lake
Restoule is definatly a hard lake to fish, but if you're in the mood for walleye, try the South River. ITry the Small Hydro Chutes on the river, Bigham Chute, Mcnabb and Elliot. Also lots of small trout streams in the area (Commanda Creek, a little north of north Bay. If you get the time, try the North River, the Little and Big Jocko river).
Pine River
* The Pine river runs through the Alliston region. It is good water but access is a problem. In the few places you can get at the river there are 50 or so snag-crazy anglers fighting for elbow room. This is during the salmon run however, perhaps mid-season it is not as abrasive.
* The Pine River is accessible through the Provincial Fishing Area just east of Hornings Mills on River Road.
Saugeen River
* The best places to fish on opening day could be anywhere along the river. It really depends on water level. If it's high, I would fish near the dam in the washout area. Fish will come in and hold in the first pool below the dam before heading up the lift. If the water is not high then the fish could be down as far as the flats (in the open-all-year part of the river). This river has fresh runs of bows come in after the opener so I usually head up on a weekday to avoid the crowds.
Lake Scugog
* This is one of the best lakes for LM Bass and Musky, if you don't mind fishing the weeds. Walleyes also come in numbers. Try the mouth of the Nonquon River for LM Bass and the bouys near Goreski's resort for Walleye.
* For walleye, head out in the early morning off Gorezki's Marina on the inside of the red buoy (between the buoy and shore). This is best fished with a moderate drift using worm harnesses (2 hook) usually hot pink or chartruese and sometimes silver. If there is no drift, try trolling up and down. Mid-day: between the red and green buoy. Late afternoon: inside the green buoy. If nothing's biting, try the top of the lake at the last bend going right (where the public launch is). Make the right and count three sets of buoys from the bend. Using the same techniques, drift buoy to buoy.
Shelter Valley
* The river that runs next to the Shelter Valley camp grounds is the Maitland river. If you hike about 15 minutes downstream from the camp grounds, on the same side of the river as the camp grounds, you will find some high clay banks with cedar springs trickling cold water into a very deep pool that has rock outcroppings. From these rocks you fish the pool. Across the river from the rock is a gravel/sand bar that drops off dramatically. You can cross upstream and fish from the gravel bar as well.
Lake Simcoe
* Cook's Bay has an excellent largemouth fishery and the potential for big fish here is excellent. Cook's bay is large and there are many places the fish may hang out but good spots to try include the cattail marsh at the south end of the bay, the banks of the Holland river and weed beds by the breakwall at the Maskinonge river in front of Dawson's marina in Keswick. Unfortunately because most of the land around these areas is private, you really need a boat to access the best fishing. There are a couple of public areas were you can try from shore, but largemouth catches there are incidental and people catch mostly panfish and carp.
* Roaches Point. (Winter) A few pike are caught early in the season as well as some whitefish early and late. I know crappies are there during softwater.
Six Mile Lake
There are plenty of crappie, pike, walleye, and Smallmouth Bass.The lake has a very irregular bottom with lots of rocky points and weedbeds throughout.
Stoney Lake
Boat rentals. The Park Motel and Hotel, Sportsman Hotel and Stricker's Resort. This is agood choice for a fishing adventure. Stoney has some awsome structure.
Sturgeon Lake
There is a public boat launch at Pleasant Point. There is great fishing just off the government dock. To get there, drive into Lindsay and proceed to highway 36 until you run into Pleasant Point Road. Drive to the end of the road and the government dock is right there.
Sydenham River
* Most of the guys I see fish off the east side. Just go into downtown Owen Sound and you will cross the river. Turn right at the next street and it will take you out along the river. Parking all over. Follow the road around and you can fish the Pottawatami, to the second bridge, I think. Check your regs. To go up the east side, take the street before the bridge and just keep to the road by the water. Again, lots of parking.
Sylvan Glen
* Take Hwy 106 and where it crosses the Ganny is the Sylvan Glen. It's about 3 miles of excellent water to fish. Stay on the north side of the Hwy.(there's a private club on the south side). There's an acess road about 1 mile west of the river crossing. That road will get you closser to the good runs.
Trent River
For walleye, fish between locks 2 & 3,but be prepared for only small fish here. If you have a boat, fish below #1 (right in town) or above the dam at Frankford. Try jigs and rapalas (white, black & combo jigs, dead slow) (big 13P perch or black and silver rapalas, shad raps & wally divers too).
Trenton to Kingston Rivers
* Millhaven Creek, just west of Kingston near the town of Bath, has a very good run of Browns and some Chinooks in the fall. In late November and early December some Rainbows can be found in the first few pools up from the lake. Spring sees the rainbows back in but it can be hit or miss as the run can sometimes be over by the time the season opens. The larger rivers in the area, eg.Trent, Moira, Salmon ,Napanee, also host runs of salmonids but due to their size and dams a short ways upstream, the fishing can be tough.
Valens CA
* Go north on hwy# 6 off of hwy#403 to hwy#97 west (you will see the conservation area sign(s). The park is on hwy#97.
* The best areas to fish are deep weeds for huge largmouths and deep weedlines and flats for big pike!
* You can launch small boats and use electric motors (no gas allowed). As well Valens has a really good ice fishing.
* It is not the greatest fishery around that area. Drive down the road ten minutes to Shades Mill C.A. where the largemouth fishing is great and the pike in the flats make for some great fishing from a boat. You may even hook into a lost brown coming downstream from Mill Creek.
Lake Wakomata
Lot's of lakers and whitefish. But Basswood is better.
Waterford Ponds
Located about half an hour past Hagersville. Take highway 6 out to Hagersville and take a right at the second right in the town. There is a sign to Waterford at that light. The road is just before a boat or truck dealership. After you take a right you'll come across 4 quarries, two on right, two on left. Follow the signs to the ponds. There are numerous ponds, all interwoven. Remember like Orangeville and Valens, no motors allowed. Electric trolling or small gas (such as 3 horse and below) are permitted.
Weslemkoon Lake
* Great lake for bass. Use live bait such as big minnows.
* Weslemkoon lake is a good SM & LM Bass lake at times, but the big fish aren't as common as they once were. There is still some good Lake Trout fishing in Weslemkoon.
Wilmot Creek
* If you are coming from Toronto it is the first cut off past hwy 115/35. You drive over the Wilmot just before the cut off. Once you're off the Hwy, keep going straight and follow the road around as far as it goes. Park before the water safety treatment plant. Then you just walk down to the mouth. People casting into the lake get some nice bows if the fish are around.
* Wilmot 401 east to Mill street (past bowmanville) and go staright after you hit the off ramp stop sign. Continue to travel straight and park where everyone else does. Can't miss it if fish are running.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
