Bass open this weekend and then you can go all up the Otonabee river tons of shore spots all the way up to Lakefeild (use google maps start at Rice lake and scroll all the way up you will find the spots) and then launch a wacky rig worm and hold on not huge Bass but always a good time. another promising spot looks to be the Scugog river. take a look.


good luck and always good fishing

Excellent info and more or less in line with my findings. I did hit the Lock 22 and 19 up in Peterborough but found out about Lakefield only after I got back. I'll definitely be winding my way back that way once I'm back from vacation mid-july. Thanks BassA!
