Anyone know the Halifax Area

[ofahgirl]

Hi:

 

I am heading out to Halifax, NS in early June for a few days... was wondering if there were any spots (other than shore) close to the downtown core that I could head out to with fly rod in hand and perhaps catch a few trout.

 

Public transit (even taxi) would be my mode of transportation.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Find Mepps and he should be able to help you out.

If you take a bus to Penhorn lake in Dartmouth (right in town beside Penhorn Mall so the bus will get you there) you can try to fly fish for stocked brook trout and rainbows. Most people still fish or use spinners, but early in the season you may be able to scare one up with a fly rod. A lot of the lakes in the city are stocked.
