Got a new Kayak - Kayak fishing near Peterborough?

[duke2555]

Got a new kayak, well new to me.

Bought a lightly used Wilderness Systems Pungo 120.

will be putting a couple rod holders on for a rod and a net.

any advice on small lakes, rivers/creeks to fish near Peterborough would be appreciated.

Smallmouth, Largemouth Bass would be main targets.

 

Thanks!

Where to put in on Pigeon River?

Is there lots of boat traffic?

Thanks

if you are looking to avoid boat traffic, leave the kawarthas entirely and head north. Theres a public boat launch near emily park. Go out on a Tuesday morning early and you should be able to easily avoid any crowds.

 

Bass doesnt open anywhere for a few more weeks. Check the regs where you plan to fish for bass. Staggered opening weeks depending on what lake you fish.

Search Google maps, you'll easily figure out where you can launch that thing..

kayaks especially, all you need is public land like a park of some sort, not even a launch. Simple simple.

sweet ride. I fished Little Lake right in Peterborough once time and we had fun right there

Peterborough Otonabee River boat launch at Monaghan Rd and Crawford Dr. also has some parking...
