Simcoe/Couch open water?

[Master of Bait]

Hey guys and gals,

 

I'm weekending up near the narrows between these two lakes this coming weekend and was wondering if anyone could tell me where I might drop a line into some open water for some perchies - shore fishing, of course.

 

Appreciate a tip if you got one.

 

Cheers,

Thanks NAW,

 

Anyone think I can tread onto the ice near shore or is that madness? Not lugging gear or anything but I know it's quite early.

 

Appreciate yer tips.

I wouldn't step out on any ice unless you have a death wish.

I sure wouldn't be in a hurry to hit Simcoe or Couch... a sheltered spot on GBay or small back lake maybe...

If you are not too fond of your mother in-law, you can invite her out for a nice walk ... but always keep her in front of you on that thin ice. It will give you time to back up if something happens. If for some strange reason you like her, I would advise that both of you should say off any ice.

Nice tip DP - I like that strategy. So anyone know if there is open water near the Atherly Narrows that would be castable from shore? As you can see I am desperate here.

 

Thanks,

Perhaps give Hook & Bow a call in Orillia. They are on Atherley and I'm sure they would have the info you are looking for. Trombly's is right around the corner as well.
