Hey there! Any good shore fishing in a 3 hour radius around Toronto?

And as far as I'm concerned they're all fairy tales, because I've fished that river plenty, and on one occasion had a perch on my line for a couple of seconds before it slipped loose. That was my only clue that there are fish in the river and part of me thinks it was a hallucination. So yeah that's my best example of "going where everyone says it is good". In contrast probably my best hour of fishing ever was on a canoe trip a year ago on a lake that wasn't even supposed to have the species I was catching, and I'd checked a number of sources.

Anyway, aside from being extremely broad your question doesn't hint at what kind of trip you'd be looking for.. day trip or if not what kind of accommodations... and as you probably realize, people don't tend to give up their secret hotspots, especially on an open forum. But if you're headed somewhere more specific you can always ask for advice.

I am looking for a great spot for a family to get out of the city to go fishing. I don't want to "try out" a random spot and waste an entire day and catch nothing. Therefore having my kids turn to not like fishing because of a bad first trip. I am looking for a sure fire spot that a family will enjoy, I'm not asking you guys to give up your hidden holes. I also gave a 3 hour radius to make it easier to come up with a location.

Apparently this forum enjoys giving new people a hard time and not helping out. It explains why it is so empty and has posts from 2 years ago still up on the front page. Thanks for nothing, I hope the 5 of you here enjoy each other.
