This book covers the scenic central part of Ontario. The city of Barrie north along Georgian Bay to the French River frames the area's western edge, while the Ottawa River from the town of Arnprior north to Deux Rivieres makes the eastern edge. Haliburton, Huntsville, Parry Sound and Barry's Bay are just a few of the prominent cities or towns in between. This scenic cottage country region is highlighted by plenty of Crown Land and mixed coniferous and deciduous forest blanketing the rolling Canadian Shield. The most prominent feature of the area is historic Algonquin Provincial Park, a bastion of Canadian wilderness only a few hours from the urban centres of the province. The scenery is as much of the fishing experience as the fishing itself. The water bodies in this area range from easily accessible urban lakes and streams to remote access or hike-in only lakes. Depth charts and information on access, facilities, fishing tips, and stocking enable anglers to choose ideal fishing spot.
