johnnyb Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 Hey all -- I have to meet a friend in Orillia tomorrow afternoon, but since we'll have the whole day, the lovely Laker Jessy and I are thinking about heading up there early to take a few casts. I've only ever fished at the Atherly Narrows for perch...but I would assume could catch the odd bass or pike in there now? Any other particular spots I might try from shore? Or better yet...does anybody need a couple people to pitch in for gas in their boat tomorrow morning? LOL Any helpful hints would be appreciated....and Happy Canada Day!
Beans Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 You could try the fishing only pier outside the Harbourmaster's building at Couchiching Beach Park...usually a few pike roaming around and the odd bass...
misfish Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 You could try the fishing only pier outside the Harbourmaster's building at Couchiching Beach Park...usually a few pike roaming around and the odd bass... What you mean the odd bass? LOL I give Orilla a thumbs up for letting anglers the chance to fish from all thier docks at the park. Just walk the docks and drop aline. You will be greeted Im sure, with good convo. They are very friendly boaters there,unlike the one here in Barrie. Here they seem to think everything is thiers. SNOBS.
johnnyb Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Posted July 1, 2008 sweet! Well that sounds like a plan..and looks easy to get to from what I see on Google Maps. I've heard about people fishing down by the Legion....is it worth finding?

BillM Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 misfish: You are right about some of the people down at the marina on the Barrie shoreline.. It's like a breeding ground for donkeyholes.
Black_Blade Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Working in town for few days, was too tired last night to head out. BBQ steak and a beer will do that Have my telescopic rod in the work truck so will head over and fire a few casts in this evening. Staying at the Highwayman Inn, totally impressed with this motel btw, clean rooms and awesome complimentary buffet breakfast...highly recommend! EdiT: wow, just noticed how old this thread was Edited June 26, 2012 by Chris In North Bay
Kerry Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 You might find it a problem at this time of year on any dock.You can fish off the 'fishing dock' and both the town dock where the Island Princess sits and the government dock which sits in the park itself.The boardwalk and the new docks installed for boaters are off limits to people just walking out to fish unfortunately.The boaters' season runs May 24 to Thanksgiving. Before or after that any dock area is accessible.You can also shore fish anywhere along Veterans Park in front of the Legion and even behind the Aquatheatre in cooch park.Hope this helps. Kerry
Christopheraaron Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Even though this is an old thread you may want to know that while paddling through the narrows I've seen a few trout, if you can find a way of presenting a bait to them I'd be pretty happy catching a laker from there.
Black_Blade Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) I grabbed some Gulp 2.5" minnows and 4" crawlers and 1/8 oz jig heads, Walmart didn't have any of the 6" ones I usually like to use. Didn't know of any place to grab some worms, so made do with that. Managed to catch a small catfish on the minnow/jighead and a few rock bass. This was the dock just past the marina, that extends from where Terry Fox Crescent- had to deal with school kids coming out and jumping in the water...guess wasn't anywhere else to swim but beside the guy fishing, ya know... Was a nice way to pass the evening though Edited June 27, 2012 by Chris In North Bay
johnnyb Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Posted June 27, 2012 Wow this thread is old! I saw it and was like "hey how come there's another johnnyb?!?!?!"
Kerry Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 Wow this thread is old! I saw it and was like "hey how come there's another johnnyb?!?!?!" LOL! Never know when someone is gonna chime in.Just depends on the day you're browsing. Kerry
Black_Blade Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 thats what I like about being an OFNer...traveling around like we do working, I can check for any info about places we are gonna be
Black_Blade Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 Thought I'd add the quick pic of the monster I hauled in from the dock off of Terry Fox Crescent, also several little rockies to round out the evening!

It's like a breeding ground for donkeyholes. 2008-2012 NOTHING HAS CHANGED. Even with the kids fishing day,they wouldnt let the kiddies fish the outer breakwall.. :wallbash: I guess money talks.Whinning bass,,,,,,,,,,,turds. Glad it worked out for you Chris.
