So I do a lot of smallmouth fishing once it gets to hot for trout, mostly on the fly or float rod.

But most of the good rivers I fish for bass are huron tribs 2 hours away from home so I only get to fish them when I visit the in-laws. All of my good spots near home are mostly trout rivers and I haven't had any luck finding a good bass creek close to barrie.

Now I don't like asking for spots and I'm not asking for your honey hole and it's not like it's a secret brookie creek anyways. Just wondring if anybody knows of any good creeks for bass large or small close to barrie?

My co worker has been fishing creeks with a lot of success in the Flesherton area since he was a little kid. That might be a tad to west for you.

Yea it's a little further than I'd hope to go, but I go out that way sometimes for trout so you never know I may try for bass one day. Thanks

I beg to differ lol.

I've fished a lot of creeks that have nothing but chub and suckers in them.

Hell I remember being a kid and catching boat loads of sunfish in some creeks but they're not even around anymore.

I swear the creek chub are getting ready for world domination. Lol

Cause it's horrible lol. No seriously I've only ever caught pike and suckers in there and seen some big carp. It's a decent spot but no God for fly fishing or bass really. There's better spots on the notty for sure.

I never fished the notty but it sure looks nice. I would love to hook into some winter chromers there one day. I saw a show where bob izumi takes a helicopter with a couple buddies ( 1 was a little person) and the flew into some nice spot and i was told by an aquantance that it was the notty.
