Hey guys,

     Im sure you all dont like these kinds of posts, but Ill give it a shot. Im an angler from Pennsylvania and Im looking to make my first trip to Ontario this summer/spring. I have been looking up there for a place to go for a week. I have an 18ft w 145 Johnson and full gear. Fishing in the states these last few years has gotten worse by the minute.  I love being on the water but realizing that I have a good day when Ive caught 2 perch and a sunfish is getting the better of me.  Guys just dont know or care to know how care for their fisheries here. I have fished Lake Ontario in the past which I feel is very good, but with my boat a stiff breeze comes and I have to stay in.  I am way too poor for those fly in trips. I also dont think the wife and kids would appreciate it like I would. Any advice on what to look for in a place to go in Eastern Ontario. I know no one wants to call out their favorite lake usually, but it seems that there are a 1000 places claiming their lake is the best in the world....and that might be true. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice for me in what to look for and best time to go. A lake with biting walleye would be great. Walleye is on my list of fish Ive never caught.

Look into the Kawartha lakes

Parry Sound area is one of my favourites for Walleye and Pike. Usually end of May would be easy to find a cottage to rent. When Bass opens though , that's a different story. Hope this helps.

If you want a drive to lake with a fly in fishing experience on a multi species lake you can do no better than Lake Kipawa Quebec .... For more info here is a link you can check for more info kipawafishingforum.net . If you need more help feel free to contact me.

Any of the a above areas are good but you need to have more local info than this to be sucessful. My best advice is to pick a waterbody and hire a fishing guide for one day. That costs you around $200 but the amout of info you get saves you a lot more and then you would be good for the rest of the week. Bay of quinte has multiple species and good residences and activities for the family as well.

Lots of room to roam on Lake Weslemkoon, trophy Bass, native Lake Trout and pan fish. I have no connection with owners, my summer property is close by and like visiting this lake. Try Hidden Cove Cottage Resort, sorry at work couldn't get link to copy.

Its a hike from PA however the French river is great for Walleye.

Lake Temagami and surrounding waters are fantastic, if you can cast a lure, you'll catch fish

Hey Thanks everyone. This is a great place to start. I agree with hiring a guide for the first day. Just really wanna catch some fish for a change. I cant bear another skunk day on my local lake.
