Hello folks,

I'm new to fly fishing. Now that the season is closed, I'm kicking myself that I didn't start angling earlier than this past October! That being said - and pardon my ignorance - are there such things as private streams? Or private ponds? If so - any favorites an hour or two within the GTA?

Thanks,
Weisman

lots of trout taking surface food this past monday, its too bad i didn't have any dry flies with me......for lake ont tribs, for the most part its either south of the cnr tracks, or hw 2, which ever one is closer to the lake,, some rivers like the rouge are open til the 31st of dec i beleive, so just look at a map, and figure out where you can fish the most water for the open season, all rivers are going to hold trout this time of year, its just a matter of finding the fish

Weisman there are private ponds 45 minutes north of Brampton for fly fishing catch and release, pond for Speckled trout and a pond for Rainbows. I think it's $4 entrance fee and if you decide to keep the fish it's so much a pound. You can google it or if you want PM me & I will tell you where it is

that pond will cost a fortune if they make you pay for what you catch--ponds are usually 10 dollars per pound---the one in alliston is 25 for fishing and catch and release--mauro PM me

Yea what sucks is that a lot of ponds make you keep what you catch. Can easily drain your money without knowing it lol
