Because people dream of doing something different and learning new things in the process. People also get bored of fishing the same species over and over again.

I've been in denial about Ontario for a very long time, probably my whole life I've wanted to be somewhere tropical. The past year of fishing here in Ontario has changed my perspective quite a bit. Ontario is a special place in that we have so much water here, and there is so much to explore. Every month brings with it a new season and style of angling. From steelheading in creeks to bass in the summer to salmon in the fall to ice fishing in the winter. That doesn't even begin to cover the variety over time Ontario has to offer. It will probrably be a few more years until I can say I've truly experienced what Ontario has to offer fishing-wise. There's stuff I haven't even started to work on... like BoQ walleye, big muskie, back lake brook trout being some of the endeavors on the back burner.

Yes, like MB has said before Ontario is a lot of the same kinds of fish, but the sheer amount of fresh water and ever-changing seasons there is in this part of the world is mind-boggling.

At least here we have a good mix of warm water and cold water species.. You can tackle a bass, pike, salmon or trout, carp, etc all on the same day.. Opposed to a lot of places in the southern US where it's just bass bass bass.
