KraTToR Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 What do you guys think is the best fishing within 3-4 hours of KW? I'm looking for weekend walleye, bass, and muskie destinations. Bay of Quinte Long Point Kawartha's (stoney?) Thoughts? Patrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PikeyArea Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 If you're going to Kawarthas Lower Buckhorn is usually better than Stoney. If you're going to Bay of Q its much better near Picton than it is Belleville or Trenton and that's pretty far from KW. Honestly the only thing I don't like about living in KW is the terrible drive for a decent place to fish. But I would agree and say St. John or really most of Simcoe if you don't mind the big lake. And if you're willing to drive four hours you could probably make most of the lakes around Parry Sound and they're all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofabed Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 I live in the KW area as well. great area to live except for water unless you like big water like Erie. I go to the Kawartha lakes as the drive is better if you take the 407. You also don't have to worry about weather as much with small lakes like Lower Buckhorn or Sturgeon.

Musky or Specks Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Go 4 hrs what's the diff. Restoule is my choice Edited September 14, 2014 by Musky or Specks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavertail Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yeah, living in KW can be kinda frustrating as far as fishing is concerned...right in the middle of everything but not really close to anything. Maybe not what you're looking for, but we are close to some great river systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bow slayer Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 st.clair,great musky and walleye fishing,bass is ok also honey harbour,moon river or anywhere on georgian bay,or the kawarthas is easily within 3 from KW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 st clair for sure. world class muskie and smallies...with strong walleye fishing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) I grew up in Fergus but moved away in 83. Used to be tons of good smallie river action in the area. Lots of small creeks loaded with Specs and the Grand had just been infused with Browns as well. Caught tons on Pike in Lake Belwood and in the Grand as well. I hear Belwood has a healthy population of Eyes now too...but I can't confirm that. I think you just have to get out and explore.

I've heard about Mitchell's Bay for Bass and the south side for Musky. I have to believe out from the mouth of the Thames has to be good for something as well. What are considered the walleye hot spots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky or Specks Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Which Lake? Commanda or Restoule? No reason to fish Commanda no musky in there. Restoule,Stormy and Clear is plenty of ground to learn for a life time.Not to mention further down the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bow slayer Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Restoule ,my favourite place in the world,just wish it was not 5 plus hours from me or I be there alot more than 3 weeks every summer.There are some big musky up there especially in stormy and clear lakes,restoule although it gets alot more pressure still has some beast also.

porkpie Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 If your looking for big water, your going to drive. I live north of you but there is a ton of fishing in the area, between reservoirs and rivers. I find I'm never short of options. It's also a pretty decent local to be a steelheader, I am right on the highway to Huron and GB. Pick a map and throw a dart, any of the options you listed are good! If your stuck on kawarthas, I agree that lowers buckhorn is an excellent destination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikeyArea Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 The issue I have with places like Belwood and conestoga is the boat launching is all on GRCA land (Unless I'm mistaken please correct me) and they don't open until 8am. If I'm fishing I'm starting earlier than 8am... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
