Just Moved to Ontario From Australia

[Aussie Bass]

Hi there,

I have just moved to Ontario, Canada from Australia. Being an avid fisho back home one of my first ports of call has been to get on line and start searching out a decent bass fishing forum...looks like I have found one!

Back in Australia I focused my energies on two kinds of ( very different) fishing. My favourite species to target was Australian bass (similar in size to small mouth, though vastly different in appearance - max size around 5kg) in the Fresh and Kingfish in the salt (I believe they call them yellow tail on the West coast - grow to 60kg)...yes we are blessed with many forms of fishing in Australia!

What I loved about Australian bass fishing was the places it would take me (and of course hooking up!)...generally either remote gorges which needed to be hiked into or larger slow flowing rivers which I fished on my kayak. When I figure out how to upload pics I'll attach some so you know what I'm on about.

Now I am hoping a few of you may be able to help me with a question I have. As I will only be living in Ontario (Toronto) for 6-8 months I do not see any point in buying a car, nor a kayak as I have no means of transporting it. This obviously leaves me with very limited options for fishing...like I was able to do with Australian Bass fishing, is it possible to find smaller streams and rivers that hold worth while numbers of bass and can be fished from the bank? I am certainly not requesting that anyone divulge their favourite fishing spots, but rather provide any general advice you may have for river/dam bank fishing?

Anyways it is great to have found such a hands on website with a vast number of members who are clearly dedicated to their sport...if any of you out there are interested in knowing more about Australian bass (or other forms of Aussie fishing) just ask.

Cheers
