Hey Folks,

 

Normally around this time of year I head up to the camp in the Sudbury area and fish for a week in the rain and yucky weather, but life isn't going to allow me to do that this year so I'm hoping you can help me out.

 

I want to take a day fishing trip from Toronto. I'll get up early, drive somewhere, rent a boat and fish for the day and come home.

 

The question is: where should I go?

 

I was thinking Bay of Quinte, but I don't know if that's really manageable for an amateur fisherman in a day.

 

Thanks for your feedback.

I rented a boat on Little Lake at Cedar park campgrounds in Barrie... just by Lake Simcoe. Pike and bass fishing.. it was fun. $75 if i recall correctly for all day fishing.. gas included. Plus they open at like 5:30 in the morning so you really get a full day. Not far from Toronto either.

i would say if you aren't experienced on big water, don't go out on lake o by yourself, things can get dicey in a hurry, 1ft waves for every 10km/h wind speed is a general rule of thumb.  waves from one direction aren't a huge problem, its when the wind chances directions and you that chop from 2 different directions that things get hairy!

 

rice lake would pretty good, balsam, simcoe(again be careful on this one as well)  scugog

Thanks Shawarma, and FrequentFlyer. I too am leery of big water. Any reccomendations for boat rentals on Rice, or Balsam?

Many boat rental places put the boats away on Thanksgiving weekend so call ahead and good luck

I second Little Lake here in Barrie. Nice people, very reasonable prices, few different options for boats (aluminum, pontoon, etc.) and the lake is easy to fish and holds lots of small to medium size pike, crappie, and buckets.
