Thanks Smokin, we had a nice day yesterday and my daughter was thrilled & enjoyed the company of your kids. Most important of all she caught her first fish!

My daughter caught her fish fish at Herber's Conservatory after several months of trying. We hooked up with smokinall4s and his kids. We had a long drive from Brampton to Whitby but were determined as my daughter really wanted to catch her first fish & it was worth the trip just looking at her face when she got one! She was happy & could not stop talking about it, as soon as we parked our car from our trip the neighbours kids were playing outside she went shouting to proclaim her achivement and am sure today at school as well the whole class would know. We had a great time with smokin & their kids, we had a good time. My daughter & my wife both caight their fish fish, I am the one who is still left out. Suggestion: It would be nice to have a family outing once in a while for OFC Community members, at a lake where kids could play together and meet up with other OFNer's. Here are some photographs of the great day we had.

You had a nice season - good fishing congrats

Welcome to OFC

Thats really gross

Congrats on the approval from the govt. I am still waiting for mine

So sorry to hear. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

Went to island lake this weekend and spent the whole day 9.30 am to 5.00 pm to catch something all we caught was weeds We were trying to fish from the shore only and no luck with live worms from the bait shop. My daughter managed to catch a small minnow with her net and that was it. Maybe fishing is a game of luck and we are not lucky to get any fishes!

If you don't mind kindly let us know where you went to fish!

Yes prices are high but that won't stop me to go Have a marvelous long weekend everyone

Thank you Photoz & Tbayboy for your suggestion. We will be headed to 9&10 this long weekend, hopefully it would be a fruitful one. fatherof3 - been to your profile and saw the nice place pictures you have there of "Grand river", can you please let me know the location that would be helpful. Thank you.

Our Weekend: Went to Professors Lake on Saturday even it when it drizzled at times spent most of the morning there, using worms and artificial fansies, no luck. My wife brought lunch as we stay closeby and we had a picnic lunch and headed to Loafers Lake. From around 2.30 to 06.30 we were at loafers lake try to catch something but then guess my 6 year old had enough for the day so we called it a day. On Sunday, we went to Heartlake Conservation at 09.30 am. Purchased some juicy live worms from the bait shop and started , there were too many lake plants and lost 2/3 bobbers in the water and my daughter lost one on the tree trying to cast out. Had lunch and finally gave up at 04.30 as wife wanted to go home and get ready for today. Not a fruitful weekend but spent time with my family, nice outing but no fishes. Oh yes we caught one frog though which my daughter has decided to keep as a pet.

Hello everybody and thank you for letting me be a part of the forum. I am new to fishing and the forum. My six year old daughter got me interested to go fishing with her. We are from Brampton and since 2 weeks we have been going to fish at professors Lake in brampton, eldaordo park in brampton, but everytime have come back empty handed. (Hats off to 6 year old to keep patience for 2/3 hours sitting to fish). Last weekend we even tried lakeshore around Hwy10 where the boats and the park is for around 4 hours but nothing. I have tried various combos (like Rapala moving fish), put corn, bread and artifical worms as well but the fishes do not like it. What are we doing wrong! Can anyone please advice where we can catch a fish to keep my daughters interest alive! I don't mind travelling either, but to fish from land only. Thank you.
