This weekend's weather looks promising. I was hoping to use my inflatable with 30lb trolling motor one last time for the year. I like going after the bass and pike. Pretty much all conservation areas are closed by now.
This year and last I've already covered the following places within one hour:
- All rivers/creeks from Mississauga to Welland.
- Jordan Harbour
- Cootes Paradise
- Binbrook CA
- Valens CA (poor fishing anyway)
- Belwood CA
- Guelph Lake CA
- Mountsberg CA (is the gate still open? though i kinda don't like this lake anyway but it might be the only option)
- Puslinch (fish die off in the winter but heard there's till some pike kicking around)
- Shade's Mills CA
- Waterford ponds (this August much of the lily pads were surrounded by thick algae like on Erie. perhaps that's why I only caught one fish?)
- Chippewa CA
- Kelso CA
- Fairy Lake Acton (poor fishing. small chance of catching the pike)
- Island Lake CA
- Brant CA
- Pittock CA
- All boatable lakes in Brampton, Mississauga and Caledon
The only ones I can think of are:
The Grand by Caledonia north of the dam. Never been but I'd rather be on lake.
And a couple of marinas big enough to putt around in for 3 hours. But that could be boring.
Did I cover everything within an hour? This is where it would be real beneficial to live in the East end and be closer to the Kawarthas and that gorgeous clear water.
