Anyone have any advice on what to throw at the bluffs to catch some fish? And what can I catch there this time of year? I am coming down this weekend and would like to catch some fish
Thanks in advance!

Everything was caught using a nightcrawler on a dropshot.

Also caught a lot of round gobies which seem to be more abundant this year than previous years.

We are a small group of friends looking to start our fishing journey, we are looking for place where we can an rent a boat and fish in the lake. We are new, have been shore fishing a while but now wont to get in deep into the culture. Any suggestions for rental places and lakes.
Please advise

Hi everyone,

I am thinking of taking my kids to the lake for fishing. This is or first time doing lake fishing and first time planning to rent a boat (the one with caption and gears). I am familiar with fishing in general as we go for fishing for few years to cancel road and Emily park. I live i East end (Scarborough).

Any recommendations on the rentals? What to look for and any other pointers? I want to give beat experience for my kids as they are excited to go.

Appreciate any help.

Might be a stupid question since there are so many boats

Hi everyone, since I'm new to the fishing world here in Toronto, just wanna hear your thoughts.

What are the fishing spots yall recommend during this summer/fall in Mississauga, Etobicoke and Toronto, I'm not driving till September when I'll get my G2 so I'm basically riding TTC or Uber (currently living in Etobicoke, near Islington Station).

Ofc, feel free to recommend some places out of GTA, from September and on I'll be able to drive and for sure I'll explore more.

PS: I really don't care about coming back home without a single catch, I just wanna have some fun and spend some time outside before winter.

Appreciate you all in advance!

do you guys use soft plastics? any tips or tricks for a complete idiot?

My girlfriend and I went there to fish yesterday since its a pleasant bike ride there from our house, but we saw virtually 0 fish. We saw 2 carp and maybe a panfish or two but the park seems abandoned by almost all fish near the carp gates and other areas. Is the park overfished or have all the fish just moved to areas where people usually dont go? The carp and panfish we saw were in a scarcely populated area near embayment D, and those were the only sizeable fish we saw all day.

Meetup fishing on Monday any suggestions on fishing spots we go has to be in Toronto or if not then close to Toronto

Hey guys, was hoping to get your quick feedback on this free tool. No sign up required.

​

Right now I've got it to work for trout and salmon around the GTA. You can either choose by location or river section and the tool will recommend what to do and how to fish that section / species based on live conditions like flow rate, sky cover and temperature.

​

Any and all thoughts are appreciated! Is it helpful? What would you want to see? What did you like or not like?

​

Thanks in advance!

Just started finishing while I heal from an accident I got into recently. Went with my friend to rice lake and got hooked to the thrill. Was kinda depressed because I was bedridden until I went fishing lol

​

I live near danforth/Victoria, any recommendations for good spots at a walkable distance. I have an ebike but don't like to ride it anymore after the accident. I am looking for a place where I catch a trout or a bass.

Never caught a fish before, gotta say i was shocked to get this beauty up and hold him.

Released him after the picture, a feeling i will never forget!

Hi everyone,

We're three friends from Germany who will be traveling to Ontario from July 3rd to July 23rd.

Unfortunately, our local contact in Canada has completely disappeared just a few weeks before our trip, so we're now trying to reorganize everything on short notice.

We're passionate anglers and our main goal is to experience Ontario's nature and spend as much time fishing as possible. We mainly enjoy active fishing/spinning and are interested in species such as Northern Pike, Muskie, Walleye, Bass, and other predatory fish.

We're looking for recommendations, contacts, or accommodation during our stay. Ideally, we're hoping to find:

- A cabin/cottage on or near a lake

- Boat rental (or a cabin that includes a boat)

- Good opportunities for spinning and predator fishing

- Local knowledge, fishing tips, and contacts

We're not looking for anything for free and are happy to pay fair rental rates for accommodation, boats, guides, or fishing opportunities.

If you know of a cabin, lodge, private rental, or simply have recommendations for great fishing areas, we'd be very grateful for any advice. Since we're organizing everything at the last minute, every lead helps.

Thanks a lot, and we're really looking forward to visiting Ontario and experiencing some world-class fishing!

Tight lines! 🎣

Quick update

First of all, thank you all for the amazing suggestions and advice. We really appreciate everyone who took the time to help! We've now rented a camper/RV and decided to just hit the road. The plan is to check out some of the destinations that were suggested and we're planning a rough route today and then see which ones feel right once we're actually there. We're not new to RV travel in general- we've done a few of camper trips in Germany -but this will be our first time RVing in

Canada, so we'd love to hear from people with local experience. Where can you legally and safely stay overnight?

Are there places we should absolutely avoid parking for the night?

Any unwritten rules of RV camping in Canada?

How reliable are apps like iOverlander, AllStays, and RV Parky in your experience? Any other apps or resources you'd recommend for finding campsites, dump stations, water, or overnight parking? Looking forward to hearing your experiences. Thanks again for all the help!

Caught this pike on Sunday using a Shadow Rap Deep jerkbait.

I wasn't fishing to keep but this guy deep throated the jerkbait and got hooked on the gills.

Ended up taking him home for some fish fry.

I'm just getting into fishing this summer, and I don't drive, but I do have an ebike. I went out to Biidaasige but it's very much out of my way - i'm closer to Dundas and Bathurst, and any place that I can bike to in less than 30 minutes would be much appreciated for some chill panfishing. I'd appreciate any recommendation. I'm not looking to haul monsters out of the water - I just want to get some hours in, as it were.

Been there a few times only managed to catch sunfish and crappie, was wondering how to catch pike there. Since the water temp is around 66 degrees im assuming they have moved shallow? I have a kayak and tried multiple depths with no luck

Hey Everyone, I recently got into fishing and I’ve honestly been loving it so far. I’ve been learning as much as I can through YouTube and Reddit, but I’m still pretty new and trying to figure out good spots around the GTA/Scarborough area.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend beginner-friendly spots where:

• fishing is decent
• parking is nearby/easy
• safe to go solo

I tried fishing at Highland Creek recently, but someone there told me it’s not really a good fishing spot and that the water is basically sewer water 😅

Would really appreciate any advice, locations. Thanks!

Sorry if this has been asked already, but wondering on the value added by one of the above? I’m sure for grenadier park it would be great, but are they helpful for Lake Ontario? Curious if they can handle open water, for instance to get to the island from the harbourfront.

Bonus points for any helpful models or accessories too! I do have a car but having something that could be carried on a bike would be amazing

Any tips for tackle/bait for Steelhead this time of year? Going out to some of the creeks on the more eastern side of Toronto.
