Good lakes for a canoe?

[leaf4]

Hey all I have a Coleman scanoe, trolling motor on with fish finder and just received a downrigger and I'd like to use it but I don't know of any lakes near Hamilton where I could utilize it, I'm not looking for your honey holes but if you could point me to some decent lakes within an hour or so I'd appreciate it!

See the Guelph Lake, Mountsberg and Kelso Lake thread. Also, Shades Mill and Puslinch lake could be an option.

what depths does mountsberg get to? and shades mill is supposedly good but no one I know has gotten anything worthwhile there lol, trying to search for somewhere with walleye

Small walleye lakes in that area? Doubt you'll find any worthwhile ones.

 

There's walleye in puslinch but I've never seen one.

I keep on getting told about all of the walleye in the grand but the only thing I ever see getting caught there is bass sunfish and the odd trout haha

There certainly is walleye in the Grand. They stick to pretty specific areas and very few are all that easily accessible. You could always take your canoe up above the Cambridge dam. It's deep and slow, wide like a lake (obviously steer clear of the dam) and has the species you're looking for.
