Hello fishing people. I'm a spincasting, barbless, catch-and-release guy stranded in Toronto. No boat, no car, no time... I don't get to fish very often and don't really have any friends who fish, either, so my knowledge is pretty limited.

Signed up to see if I can learn enough to find a place for late-year fishing near the city, and get some familiarity with something other than cast and retrieve.

Welcome...you're from downtown? You have a lot of water to cover my friend. Sometimes I drive to downtown for Pike & Bass.

There is. The Marina side and parking lot. Lake access and channel access near the OP maintenance yard. Not sure about the west island though.

Don't get me wrong, I have done some fishing around the city and on the lake, but I'd rather get away from here for some fresher air and cleaner water.

I have seen some pretty serious fish both just roaming and being caught. Biggest pike I've ever seen was swimming by the Amphitheatre.

Welcome! But please don't name spots, I'm sure a lot of us know the harbour fairly well. But there are still a lot of people who wouldn't think of putting a line in.

I was under the impression after lurking a lot that you guys only really cared about naming of rivers.

That's the rule, yes. But at least have some courtesy and not name specific spots either, the impacts are just as bad.
