Thanks guys, I was thinking much of the same, I had been wondering about them for awhile, had bought a few a year ago, but forgot about it until walking through Cabela's. 0 luck on the baits. My papa and sis were fishing last summer on a pier, myself and my papa were throwing beautiful crank baits and swim baits, Rapala, Cotton, my first live target and a couple of storm baits, 0 fish, sister throwing a 4" yellow 1/4 ounce jig, two foot pike. At the end of the day, it all boils down to what the fish are after I guess. Thanks again for the input guys. 

Nice fly Chrome

Beautiful flies Swing, is that a yarn head? 

Oh yeah, should've cleared that up, I won't be fishing them until next spring, they have been closed since Sept 30th in my region I believe. 

Not sure if this will help much, but Camping near Orillia is a good bet. I don't know much about the specific parks, but you can see 2-3 foot pikes less than 6 feet from the board walk. Lake Couchiching isn't super deep, most of the it is shallower than 30 feet, but supposedly has bass(LM/SM), pickerel, pike and lake trout. 

Thanks for the info guys. Its not that I have something against keeping fish, I just have never done it. Back on the whereabouts of fishing, I think I may know a spot. About 2-6 inches deep, with a rocky/gravely centre and sandy banks. About 6-8 feet wide, and dense thicket on either side. Surrounded by pine forests in all directions. I'll have to check it out soon. I'll be sure to send out a pm to everyone who helped this spring... if I find anything that is. Thanks again for all your help.
