Kempenfelt Bay would be one place to start, and Little Lake. The narrows at Lake Dalrymple is another spot. You're already closer to the central Ontario lakes than those of us in Toronto, a little searching on Google Maps could be fruitful. White's Falls Road/Upper Big Chute Road, has many areas for shore fishing, but parking is sometimes problematic.

Thanks Dave, I'm familiar with the old saying lol I was thinking more in Barrie proper but I appreciate the feedback on Dalrymple and Port Severn. They are a bit of a hike but I think Dalrymple would be my first choice. What's the scoop with Little Lake, are you allowed to bank fish? Have you ever been to Bass Lake?
