Question???

[dhickey]

Would you go through a swamp in a canoe for about 1.5 hours to fish?

 

The other part of the question is do you have access. ?

 

Considering that all land around it is privately owned?

 

Is the swamp owned buy the land owner-s or is the water way connecting several lakes as well as swamps public domain?

 

Hmmm?

Different rules for different waterways...just look at Scugog for example.

Agreed but Scugog is man made and water is regulated(controlled).

I guess what im asking is if the water system is public once you go 3.5 hours north east of GTA?

[Rod Caster]

I'd try for sure (if public or have permission), I'd be mentally prepared to turn around however. Sounds like a tough tromp.

Just be careful you don't bottom out, swamps can get pretty shallow. But as for the paddle, go for it, I'd paddle 4 hours to get to good fishing!

Go for it. I would also go Florida keys style and take a push pole.

Poling a canoe takes some practice. Also, the bottom in a swamp is likely to be soft and unsuitable for poling.

 

1 1/2 hrs?? Hell, yes, if there are fish at the other end!!

3.5 hours north east of the GTA? What difference would that make? Toronto is not the center of the universe!

[spincast]

so, just out of curiosity, how did ya find out there were fish there the first time?

?? Oh, udunno. When I was up the CN tower I felt dizzy---I think that was because the universe was spinning all around us!

I used to fish it as a young boy and as a teenager but the 2 land owners have changed and denied land access to all but themselves.

 

So if I understand it properly they don't own the lake/pond.

But do they own the swamp connected to it as well as 2 other lakes?

[Terry]

there is a good chance the own much of the swamp or all of it

navigable water is the key

I'd paddle. But I agree with Chad: "(if public or have permission), I'd be mentally prepared to turn around however."

especially if your that far North - lots of choices, who needs the Bull?
