perch and trout fishing

[tweedwolfscream]

To try to clear up some confusion: the fishing spot in Orangeville is the reservoir in Island Lake Conservation Area as MuskieBait says. It does have perch, but is better known for other species, especially pike. I once saw a perch there check out my bait while ice fishing, it was a small one and that was my only contact with perch there. I've caught pumpkinseed there that were of decent pan size, and I know people catch crappie also but I don't know what sort of sizes they are. There are also largemouth bass in the lake which the CA encourages voluntary live release of.

But there are no trout in Island Lake, unless one occasionally wanders in from the surrounding streams. Not sure where you heard that.

It's possible you're getting confused with Ken Whillans Resource Management Area, a conservation area off Highway 10 just south of Caledon Village. It has a pond stocked with rainbow trout, and there are also perch there. That's the closest trout pond I know of to the south from Orangeville.
