want to know a good place to fish

[veryhuman]

like the title, would like to know any good place to fish, not looking for anything huge. just an enjoyable spot for some casual fishing.

prefer maybe max, an hour away

as well, anywhere i can get some last min bait & fishing liscence.

thankkss :cheesygri

[peterbrowne]

and ur location is?

[veryhuman]

woops. toronto :D

[confused]

Lake Simcoe, Kawartha's (Pigeon Lake, etc) ..

there are two bait stores at Black Creek and Jane Street

Bass season ain't open yet.. you're stuck with panfish, walleye, muskie/pike..

[baymoe]

I'm curious to know as well. Do you guys have any exact locations to go to and directions to get there as well? The last couple of places that I went to such as Hastings (dam) and Belleville (bridge), it's infested with gobbies (pests in the sea). Most of the decent fishing spots that I used to go to a couple years back are now non-existent due to the infestation of the gobbies.

Anyways... for those of you that are in the markham area and wants to get bait and license, there's a place call Lucky fishing at Sheppard and Midland (just east of midland on the south side). There's another one at Finch and Markham (right behind the gas station).

Odd, I went to hastings 2 times this year and I was fishing on the wooden bridge and all i caught was perch and rockbass. No gobbies here.

Columbia Lake in waterloo

[shadowfighta]

Don't go to rice lake.

[peterbrowne]

In oakville, take dundas W past trafalgar, you'll pass another canadian tire. get a can of worms at the machine by the gas bar and get the license inside. Go back on dundas. I think the road starts with N and I think it may have been the old 4th line. Turn left. It's somewhere there.

That's right near Bewdley right?

May I ask why?

Heart Lake Conservation Area

It is stalked with on Average 5000-6000 Rainbows every year, but this year even more do to Drudging at their fisheries (7,000 since last october) The bass are awsome too, ive seen people catch them 5-6 pounds. The lake is about 40 acres and has boat rentals on the weekend

Admision is 4.25 for an adult, 2.25 for a child

Fishing is 5.35 for an adult and 2.68 for a child and a provincial license isnt needed

It is just off of the 410 in Brampton

Columbia Lake in waterloo

Believe or not its true.

Back in the days when I was still in Loo me and a few friends decided to go fish at columbia lake. I was so shocked to see the numbers of BIG FAT carps.

There were so many I could have jumped in and grabbed a few.

The smallest was probably 2 feet long.

If you do goto CL make sure you bring some corn as bait.

There is absolutely nothing in Rice Lake.

Me and my friends were out there last year around august.

We were there at 6 in the morning till late at night.

We didnt catch a fish larger then like 10 cm.

Not worth it.

If you go to hastings at rice lake i suggest you fish near the bridge, if you fish downstream past the small dam and water elevator theres nothing but gobies

I caught those damn things right at the dam (low side). God, I hate those things.

[Oni-kun]

I leave the gobies on my hook and "cast" it really hard into the ground behind me opps ahahaha or i put them on the ground and squish their heads.

Haha, that's exactly what my friend does. He'd get so frustrated at not catching anything cept gobbies, he'd "play" around with them.

I went fishing at Lake Cameron last week on a boat, caught quite a few smallmouths. Caught a 3 pounder on leeches.

the MNR states "if you catch a round goby do not throw it back alive!"

so have all the fun you want lol..
