woops. toronto

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..

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

Don't go to rice lake.

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.

Don't go to rice lake.

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

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.
