I been fishing for some time now. Always looking for new places to try. Most of the good places are out of the city. Anyone know any good places near or in the city. The best place in the city I would have to say center island have caught bass, pike, carp and catfish there.

I just got back from orangeville, its called island lake and has tons of fish. Boat rental is $80 for a full day or you could bring your own (no gas motors). I caught about 4 pike, 15+ perch

imported_sharper

I have heard of island lake conservation park. Is it good? what do you catch there besides pike and perch? any bass?


Cynikal.Mindset- where in guelph???

Cynikal.Mindset

right downtown ...kid the other day pulled out a 14inch pike

imported_sharper

anyone know any other good places near the gta for fishing?

Gallagher

haha 14inch pike.

What type of fishing you into?


I know alot of places but it all depends on the type of fishing you'd like to catch.

Let me know and i'll post it up tomorrow.

Bay of Quinte during fall/winter (just before ice) and you catch 13-16lb pickeral.

My fav. lake to fish is nippissing in callandar bay.

I could go on for along time.

Perch go to lake simcoe.

And yeah, do you have a boat or are you going to be fishing off the dock?

Currently have an 18ft. Legend with a 45 on the back. Tackle comin' outta my yin yang.

14" pike out of a shyte little river and where it was caught is no more than a foot deep...but up the river at the dams there are some pigs...guy across the hall always goes and pulls out 4lb bass and huge carp

Gallagher

Couple randoms i've caught in the past year. Bass and pickeral, which are my fav. fish to catch.

Gallagher

imported_sharper

nice pictures there.
I usually rent a boat if there is boat rental in the area.
Any places within an hour drive of the gta?
I enjoy all kinds of fishing even panfish, as long as there is some action.

imported_sharper

I notice in all the pics your wearing heavy clothing (eg. sweatshirts) are you fishing in spring/fall?

Gallagher

alot of my fishing is done in the spring fall time.


The latest I usually go is about june 15th and then start back up heavy in the september area.

Summer time is usually camping/golfing time.

Gallagher

Simcoe has great perch fishing.


Right at the joint of cooch and coe.

About 500yards off shore in the middle there.

You see tons of boats there in the spring. We had 3 boats out there.

Niagara River has some big fish as well. Musky, salmon, rainbows, browns...

I've gotten into it alot more this year, but again, not too many places in the GTA and I don't have any friends who are as serious about it as I am. I might go up to Rice lake one day soon.

Gallagher

i'm telling you. Go to Callandar Bay.

Its great there.

Doe lake and Clear lake have some good fishing.

Cant go wrong with Stoney Lake either.

imported_d16y8

thanks for the tip

I was fishing on rice lake in may and it was ok. Caught some catfish, crappie and sunfish. We heard good bass and pike fishing but didn't catch a single one. Used spinners, jig's and crankbait to no avail. It's really weedy there I think the lake is dying like lake scugog nearby.
