New to Canada


Recommended Posts

Hey Colin. Welcome to Canada and more specifically to Vaughan. Being a fellow resident, I can tell you that there many good lakes within a couple of hours drive or less offering a wide variety of species. There is good action in both the soft water and hard water seasons on Lake Simcoe which is less than an hour from you.

 

Shoot me a PM if you want more details.

If you ever look at this post again, Welcome!

Easiest way to start fishing around here is to get a cheap, medium spinning rod put some 8 lb mono on it, a simple sinker, hook with a worm and throw it out there. There is a excellent variety of fish most lakes or river that will hit that worm.

If you get the opportunity, take a little drive up to North Bay. Lake Nipissing has some excellent fishing for almost anything that swims(except trout). It's only a 3.5 hour drive from you and there are numerous places to stay. Most of the lodges and cottages up here include a boat rental but you will need to get a pleasure craft operators card. There are several OFC members up this way so i doubt you'd have a problem finding a fishing buddy :D

 

Hi Mike,

 

Great to meet you and many thanks for the advice, I will certainly take a drive up and see whats around.

 

We took a drive up to Georgian Bay a few weekends ago and some of the waters where amazing.

 

Hope to catch up soon.

Welcome to our community, Colin. Looking forward to your input here.

 

Hi Roy,

 

Many thanks for the warm welcome.

 

From the feed back I have already had from this site makes me feel that the members are true helpful fishermen and women with the best interests of the sport at heart.

 

I look forward to a long and interesting membership and will certainly be as helpful as the others have been in any fishing ventures I go on.

Welcome to the board Colin. I am sure you will get lots of coaching for places to start fishing real soon. I would give you some advice but you see I am a little South of you.

Hi,

 

Many thanks for the warm welcome and great to meet you.

 

I'm looking forward to getting as much help as I can as well as going out and searching for myself, to be honest distance doesn't bother me with regards to fishing and I feel that you only get out what you put in and if that means travelling long distances then I really don't mind.

 

I took a drive up to Georgian Bay the other weekend and was overawed by the immense size of some of the waters up there, watercraft is certainly going to play a big part in finding the fish.

 

Hope to speak again soon.

Welcome aboard !!! Did you bring any 3X or Bountiful with you to share???

 

Hi,

 

Great to meet you and thanks for the warm welcome.

 

Unfortunately I didn't have much room left in my bags along with the fishing gear...wallbash.gif

welcome - I think anyone who can catch fish that size probably has some very transferable skills, and will meet with success here. So, just how long does it take to land a 136 lb catfish I wonder?

 

Hi,

 

Nice to meet you and thanks for the kind welcome.

 

Regarding the catfish, once the first few heavy runs are over it's just a matter of coaxing them in gently with lots of heavy head thumps, the first few runs are amazing and its just a matter of hanging on while they empty the spool of line.....all heart thumping action.

 

Looking forward to wetting a line soon over here.

Hey Colin!

Welcome to OFC and to Canada as well!

 

You are within a very short drive to some great areas for fishing. Lake Simcoe is virtually an inland great lake and has all kinds of opportunities. This amazing body of water is just up the 400 Highway from you. As mentioned already, if it is Carp you are interested in, the experts will be along shortly to give you specific info.

 

There are lots of good rivers and streams as well.

 

Enjoy your time on the board!

 

Hi,

 

Great to meet you and many thanks for the warm welcome.

 

Thanks for the advice, I took a drive up to Lake Simcoe the other weekend and was overawed by the immense size of the water, its certainly going to be a challenge to find where the fish are, but watercraft is as important as the fishing itself, so looking forward to it.

 

I'm not looking specifically for Carp, I'm looking to catch my first Large or Smallmouth Bass as well as Salmon and Steelhead.

 

Hope to speak again very soon.

 

Colin.

Welcome Colin, to Canada and OFC!

 

If you get down to the Niagara region drop me a line and I'll get you out for Salmon or Bass...Or Muskie.

 

Hi,

 

Many thanks for the kind welcome and its great to meet you.

 

I was down at the Niagra Whirlpool last weekend and took a walk around, I heard that you can fish for Steelhead at the Whirlpool but found access very difficult.

 

Would be great to get out anytime, just drop me a line here.

 

Colin.
