The year of learning.

[Tim Doucette]

My name is Tim. I live in Toronto. I'm 40, father of 3 young boys. My dad, an East Coaster, always took me fishing, but I rejected it a bit as a teen (what else is new?) BUT 4 months ago I was on a road trip to Timmins... And I got that weird feeling, that I'd like to go fishing. Anyway, I got the fishing bug pretty bad, I'd say. Now my wife thinks I'm nuts when I'm out digging for worms... And I have fished all over Toronto, Simcoe/cooks Bay, Skugog, Saugeen River... Next stop: Dalhousie Port. I heard great stuff. Now, with all the fishing I've been up to, you'd think I'd be pretty good by now... But no! In the last 3 months I caught fish (small perch, sunfish and a gobby?) But it's all dropped off. And my wife thinks I've lost my mind cause I keep going out at various hours... Various spots. Only to return empty handed. Accept for 2 weeks ago, beginning of November, my buddy (crazy like me) went to Tommy Thompson Park, caught a Pike! That was awesome! Anyway... I love being out there in any kind of weather, taking it all in! I have read more articles on line about fishing and watched more videos on this topic more than hockey and that says a lot. So I'm heading to Dalhousie in search of Trout (or anything that will bite!!??). I've got my gear ready and next year a small boat... Besides that, I like to write... Can't you tell?! Any help or advice of fishing, join my buddy and me, have a spot I should try? Let me know. One day all my training will pay off and I will be an avid fisherman!
