mikeh Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 welcome to the board . Have you picked up the fishing regulations book yet? there is info in there that may give you tips on where to start. If you are a carp fisherman you can try where the Rouge River meets lake ontario, also try going into some local fishing stores (Tightlines in Pickering) and ask them where to start. good luck.

gone_fishin Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) in Ajax there isn't a whole lot... the closest spot would be Duffin's Creek. near the mouth, in the marsh area (back bays), you can get lots of carp and catfish, i have caught a couple bass and pike there as well. up the river in the spring you can get rainbow trout, and in the fall you can get salmon. the closest lake (aside from Lake Ontario) is Lake Scugog near Port Perry. you can get panfish (crappies, perch, bluegills, pumpkinseeds, rockbass), bass, walleye, muskie, carp, catfish. PM me if you want to meet up sometime... we're living in the same town! Edited June 8, 2008 by gone_fishin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakewalk Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hello there & welcome! From whereabouts did you come? I recommend the short trip to scugog; & maybe go out and buy the Backroad Mapbook for your region- they have tonnes of info on good access points! Definately download the regulations (.pdf) for your zone off the MNR website: Zone 16 Regs Take Care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ketchenany Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Welcome to the board. I have a publication/map (looks like a folded map) that was done by Durham Tourism (1998). It has all of the spots and types of fish species with illustrations and type of food they like, lures to use and peak season etc. very comprehensive little guide. I've had it for years because of my tourism connections. I'm not sure if they still have them but it's worth a try, If you want to contact them here is the info Tourisn Durham PO Box 623 Whitby ON L1N 6A3 Tel 905 723.0023 or 1800.413.0017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehg Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 This post was a one shot deal by someone in the UK three yrs. ago. Can't believe there is 4,500 plus page views on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishTracker Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 It really depends on what you are looking to fish for. There are lots of places in the Durham area...I would suggest Scugog if you want to get into some Bass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
