GNODDY Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) Howdy Folks, Well with the recent addition of a Family Van, My wife and I are planning on doing more camping this year with our little guy who is 6. My question is where can we go and get a nice site that has good fishing from shore or rental canoes. We live in Oshawa and I have fished the Kawarthas for years and we are kind of wanting something new.

Bernie Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hi Gnoddy. I would like to be able to offer a suggestion but dont fish from shore and only fish Nipissing. What kind of fish are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNODDY Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I dunno I was hoping to find a nice place to go with the fam camping and possibly catch something decent pike, walleye bass. I know it's dificult from shore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostchild Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Have you been to Bass Lake P.P.. It is within 1.5hrs or less from Oshawa, they have canoe rentals and a few places where you can cast from shore. The lake is relatively small and usually very calm, the bass are plentiful and sometimes you can find a bonus crappie. Other parks that you may want to look into are Sharbot Lake P.P., Silver Lake and Bon Echo, they are about 2.5/3hrs from Oshawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddyk Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 (edited) I go to Chippawa Camp Sites 2 or 3 times a year near Cumbermere Ont. It has a beautiful beach and you can rent a canoe.There is a small lake called Green Lake right there and its full of bass and pike. The main lake is Kamaniskeg.

Clampet Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Pretty good offer from Fishunter, and Eddy K suggestion ain't bad either. Walleye from shore is next to impossible nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooked Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Your best bet is somewhere in the Haliburton region. If you can get one of those Backroad Maps, or do some research on the net, sure you could find some camping available up there. After all, there are 100's of lakes up there. Wish I coulda gave you more specific areas, but I was thinking of doing the same thing as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
