Glenn Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Hey Gang, I was just wondering if anyone can suggest some good pike lakes within an hour or so from Toronto for a day trip of fishing? Looking forward to getting out in my fishing kayak to get some action! I know Simcoe is a popular lake, but looking for a body of water that isn't so big. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you, Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrowMan Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 You don't even have to leave TO...inside of the Leslie St spit has plenty of Pike with a shot at a 40 Other than that...within an hour of downtown ? A lot of the Conservation Areas have lakes with decent populations of hammer-handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Definitely no need to leave Toronto to catch some nice gators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted May 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Thanks guys! I am hoping to find a smaller lake up north. I salmon fish through July/August so I see plenty of Lake Ontario! Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 Cooks Bay would be a good choice (Lake Simcoe) Not a smaller lake though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reef Runner Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 For conservation areas within an hour Mountsburg close to Guelph or Island Lake in Orangeville. These places get hammered pretty hard so expect a pressured fishery and plenty of hammer handles. If you’re willing to stretch the drive to 1.5-2 hours to the Kawartha’s, namely, Canal, Mitchell and Balsam Lakes hold some good pike.
