mmmm rotten boot fish...sounds tasty heh

Sounds great MJL, I'll grab some then.....Motorhead thanks for the reply, I guess I'll have to keep my eyes peeled on the highway. Also, since you're from Hamilton, do you know if Bill's on upper james sells leeches? Thanks guys

Hey there folks, I'm heading up to Algonquin this weekend and want to take up some leeches. Now, Being very new to this I am just wondering how to keep them for the trip up. I figure they'll be okay in the cooler on ice until saturday when I go out fishing. I will be picking them up at about noon on friday. Will they be okay until then or not? I didn't use any live bait last time I went up besides worms. Also, on the way up last time I didn't really notice any bait shops on the way up either. I'll be travelling from hamilton up the 401 to 400, 11 and 60. Any shops I'm missing on the way up? (I know pretty stupid question but I'm new!)

I'm pretty new to fishing, but I have had a couple of good nights at pier 4. Just before bass season started I hooked a couple of mid size large mouths on minnows and bobber near the boat ramp. Catfish are plentiful on the opposite side by the marina. There are apparently some nice pike to be had there as well. I don't think I would drive from Toronto to fish there though, but that's just me.

I agree, let's go fishing

big smallmouth on canoe lake eh? Nice, sounds like I'll be spending a bit of time there!!! I can't wait to get up there and on the water!!!!

Wow, what an overwhelming response! I'm used to asking questions on forums and getting 1, maybe 2 replies. Thanks all for the good advice! Those drops for the water seem excellent, I may have to order them, or stop at MEC on my way up. Pictures will be posted after the trip. Until then I'll have to do some fishing locally and try and get better, because, as I said very new to fishing, in fact, the last time I fished prior to this year was when I was about 10, with my dad. So again, thanks for all of your pointers and wish me luck up there!

Hey there folks. This is my first post and some help would be appreciated immensely!! I have a camping trip booked for the canada weekend for 4 days at Tea Lake in algonquin park. I am new to camping and even newer to fishing and I was hoping that some of you seasoned veterans could give me a few pointers as to my little expedition. I will be fishing Tea and Canoe lake in a canoe and I haven't much experience at all. Also has anyone here actually fished there, and, if so, is it good or not? Thanks to all in advance for your help!!
