Ideas for a saturday morning fish?

[evster]

I was going to head back up to Island Lake and take my cousin fishing before he goes to teacher's college....but...they aren't renting boats anymore. I guess we could rent a canoe or fish from shore, but they aren't my favourite. Does anyone have ideas of a place we could get a boat? I need this to be as close to Kitchener as possible to since we have to be back around 2 in the afternoon.

 

Thanks!

Might want to give Belwood Lake a try. Closer than Island Lake.

Oh...I should also add...none of the conservations areas in the area (conestoga, belwood, guelph, island) are renting motorized boats anymore.

For good or just for this year?

Just for the year, i think its because of the low water levels.

4get about a boat, go shore fish @ the grand, and get some waders. don't think theres anything other than the cons. areas near kitchener.

You could try Shades Mill conservation area in Cambridge. Close to Kitchener and they rent canoes. It's also small enough you can fish the whole lake in 4 hrs.

The other option might be Valens conservation area. They rent 12' aluminum fishing boats (no motors) as well as canoes and tandem kayaks.
