[shadowfly]

after 4 beers i got curious to how many lakes there wore in Ontario little bit of Google search and found this

 

Ontario is home to approximately 250,000 bodies of water that are classified as lakes. The exact number is unknown. Nearly 4,000 of these are larger than 3Km2. Most are found in the northern portion of the province

Jeeez, after close to 60 years of fishing I don't think my computer....or my memory.... is big enough to hold the names of all the lakes I've fished

[shadowfly]

[shadowfly]

A gazillion. probably 40-60 in Algonquin Park alone. I just look at maps, see a lake, then try to get to it and fish it. I guess its alot different for us then folks from the south who tend to fish the great lakes.

a gazillion , damn if i had that much in dollars, id buy every OFNer fishing rod. 7 beers in the count so far

Well, my biggest musky came from the St. Lawrence, my biggest bass came from the Kawarthas and my favorite place to fish is the West Arm of Nippissing

 

Now count how many lakes are within a couple hundred miles of that tri-angle and it may be pretty close

[shadowfly]

LOL OK lew I'll give it a shot I'll get back to you in a year.

I travel a lot, so I'm kind of like a lake hore... I've tried nearly everyone I've seen, but they were not all good, and I regret a few of them.
