Hello Folks
just thought I would take a minute to introduce myself to you all on OSF. I am new to Canada, moved to Burlington, Ontario last year from Scotland and must say I love this place. I am just finding my feet here at the moment with the fishing thing, back in Scotland the only fishing I done was fly fishing(trout) and I love it. Problem I have here is trying to find good fly fishing spots around Burlington and surrounding area's. I have bought a spinning rod to try and learn an other fishing method that will get me on the water. Second problem now is I do not have great knowledge of what gear to use on the spinning rod setup and again I now need to find places where I can fish with the new rod. Saying that, this is all part of the fun of fishing, discovering and finding places that produce a good days fishing. Any guidance would be greatly welcome with regard to spinning set up's, I have heard about bottom bouncing/ float fishing/ roe bags/spinning with lures........all alien to me but looking forward to trying them all.I work in Alberta and when I get back to Burlington(every 5 weeks) I have 2 weeks off, so if anyone is available and would like a fishing buddy for the day please get in touch, I don't mind paying for gas/lunch/drinks or anything else that crop's up I just need to learn the finer point's of fishing and enjoying what Southern Ontario has to offer.
Anyway folks that's a brief update about myself and I look forward to reading about all your great days out on this forum and hopefully one day I will be able to post on here about my own great day out fishing in this area...............Tight Lines Everybody.
Cheers
Dave
