Hey folks,

Looking for some help. I'm taking my girlfriend fishing for the first time and I was hoping for some location suggestions. We are pretty limited to bikes and TTC, locations in downtown Toronto, no further west than the Humber or further east than the Don or Cherry beach.

Target species would be anything really. I was thinking carp cause we could find a spot, chuck out some corn and have a glass of wine while we wait. I don't want to make her walk around a whole bunch the first time out, so anywhere that has a nice grassy spot to put down a blanket and a picnic would be ideal. I know the islands are great, but busy. I was thinking of Humber Bay park, but haven't seen any reports out of there recently. Has anyone had any luck at Grenadier recently, or is it too damned hot?

To complicate matters I want to teach her to fly cast (while we wait for the carp), so anywhere with open space would be great.

Basically: nice spot, decent chance of catching something, accessible by bike or ttc

Cheers
Cam
