Fishing Southern Ontario

A couple of weeks ago my pals Smokey Joe and Braumeister traveled to Ontario on a fishing vacation.

Some observations:

• When the fishing was good; it was really good.  

• Unlike north woods Wisconsin lakes Canadian lakes are not packed cheek by jowl with dwellings crammed into the shoreline.  With the exception of an occasional cottage, camper trailer or resort the shorelines are ringed with beach and forest.

As a consequence, the clear, clean lakes supports ample food resources to sustain a large population of native fish.  If you want to chuck a crank bait for muskie or northern pike have at it.  If you want to catch jumbo perch all you require is a rod rigged with a slip bobber and a supply of leeches.  There are walleyes (pickerel) too.

And when you catch a pile of fish you have a big fish fry with all the fixns'.

 

 

 

 

It was a productive and relaxing week of fresh air in a rustic cabin and creaky resort boat.

I'd do this again...
