Welcome to the hood.
I live about 15 minutes north of you. But lived in Barrie for about 10 years.
There are so many amazing places for the outdoors man/woman to explore in Simcoe. In fact, there are hundreds of miles of great biking, hiking, snowshoe, and ski trails within a 15 minutes of your house.
If your in to that sort if thing,, let me know. I guide in the area, and can show you some real cool places...
As for fish in the area.. X2 on Misfish. Simcoe really doesn't hold many fish...
