London Shore Fishing Noobie

[MuskieBait]

Fish are perfectly find to eat in London. My friend lives in London and fish the Thames all the time. He has eaten Walleye, Smallmouth Bass and White Bass from the Thames. No issue at all as long as you stay within the consumption guidelines.

I also just want to say...

I live in Toronto and intentionally drive to London to fish the Thames River. My fishing spots are right within the busiest part of London and they are relatively productive. My friends and I have always done well with Smallmouth Bass, Redhorse species (Golden, Shorthead, Silver), Rockbass, White Bass, Walleye, Freshwater Drum and Channel Catfish. In fact, we had never been skunked while fishing on the Thames. Fanshawe is known to produce Steelhead at certain time of year and there are certainly Common Carp, Walleye, Pike, Yellow Perch and Smallmouth Bass all year round. I don't fish Fanshawe simply because it can get busy and fishing pressure can be significant. But if you put in your time, you will learn to fish it effectively and be able to catch some edible fish.
