Favourite body of water

[sneak_e_pete]

What's your favourite?

 

For me, it is the French River. Fishing can be hit and miss, but the scenery and tranquility bring me back.

I've seen a lot of beautiful lakes, and will discover more I'm sure. That said I will always have Six Mile dearest in my heart. All them memories of growing up, fishing and frolicking there as a boy and a wild young man.

I've been to alot of places in this big ole world but have never found anywhere I like better than the West Arm of Lake Nippissing and that's the reason I just keep going back time after time.

Spent every summer on Nipissings South Bay area.
While it may not be quite as pretty as the French River, it is almost like home. No place I'd rather be.

[jbailey]

Lorimer lake... oh man you're making me nostalgic. haha

[BillM]

I love the middle French... Like Pete says, fishing doesn't matter. The lack of boat traffic, scenery and just the memories from when I was a kid make it my fav place to go.

[fishindevil]

. Without a doubt the Ottawa river !!!

We sold the family cottage last summer. But I spent a month ever summer for my entire life at 6-mile. It's a special place for me.

 

My new challenge, is G-Bay...

[outllaw]

I have to go l.st clair.

no scenery no black flies,skeeters.

but its amazing fo musky,bass and walleyes. if ya want a perch feed without worms that's another plus..

ramps are good and cheap plus affordable lodging.

[Gnote]

Any lake with no houses boats cottages docks or people.ill take the hot cold bugs rain and other natural forces.

Edit, it would be nice if it had fish too...

for fishing alone its a toss up between the west arm of nipp,or pigeon river. as for scenery lang lake was really nice.

[Joeytier]

I'm not telling

[Acountdeleted]

There are a lot of lakes I will never see again in Northwestern Ontario (fly in due to work). Kearns and Birch are two of the nicest I've ever been to. Bluffy in ear falls was nice too.

 

As for Southern Ontario I SAY NOTHING!!!

[bushart]

Wow---when you spend a lot of years on this rock---it's hard to pick just one---how bout top 5

 

1. Fond du Lac river flowing into Black Lake in Sask.------whitewater coming into a gin clear lake---where grayling school up till the water is black

 

2. Big Creek outside Delhi Ontario----little creek you'd walk down and catch speckles and browns outside farm fields--used to be an old submerged car full of bullet holes in the water---catch trout right beside (prob had to be there )

 

3. Ghost Lake outside Dryden Ontario---another gin clear lake where the smallies always bite and the lake trout were excellent

 

4. Lake of The Woods----you don't need to say more

 

5. The Grand River---Many dump on the old girl but it re-invents itself for many miles along the way---and it's the 1st place I fished 47 years ago

 

Soo it's hard to pick just one

[sneak_e_pete]

Great! Its not about the fishing...about the memories.

Tie: Lakes Ontario and Erie and the Niagara river that connects them.

World class size and numbers for many species and oh so close to home.

[irishfield]

This is (one of) my favourite back lakes in Temagami.. .. anyone recognize it??

[DRIFTER_016]

My favorite lake is Great Bear about 500 kms North of me. Killer scenery, caribou, wolverine, muskox, moose, grizzly and black bear.

And the fishing is OK too.

 

 

My favorite river is the Kenai in Alaska. Again with the great scenery, mountain goats, sheep, moose, tons of grizzlies and black bears.

And the fishing is OK too.

 

[TDunn]

Lake Superior (lake nipigon close 2nd) and the St. Marys River

The mighty st lawrence river...

 

The better I get at fishing her the less I travel because it's hard to beat the Larry for carp... Walleye... And musky fishing...

X2 Except for hitting a few Huron /Georgian Bay tribs for steelies in the fall, I haven't been on a lake outside of these 2 since probably the late eighties. I can be backing down a ramp 2 minutes from my house for great fishing. Did the many hour drive to northern destinations for a lot of years too before that, just could not see spending a good chunk of my weekend behind a wheel rather than on the water any more.

Niagara Glen/Whirlpool area, limited success but I love fishing there

[Cast-Away]

You can't beat the scenery on GBay in the Thirty Thousand Islands.
