Simcoe Perch Report Tues.

[Fish Farmer]

Buddy and myself decided a trip to Beaverton was in order. It was none stop.
I got my limit with 1 Herring, My buddy was more selective, keep 24 of his bigger Perch.
Was nice having a fresh Perch supper last night.
Only work I had was that 3 hour drive home going threw TO. Toronto takes the enjoyment out of a trip.

Nice lookin catch.

Next time you go up that-a-way, instead of going through Toronto, get off the 401 at HWY 25 N in Milton. It'll take you through Acton. Stay on that until you come to HWY 124. There's a set of lights there, turn RIGHT and it'll take you through Erin. When you get to the lights at Caledon (HWY 10) turn left (North on 10) and that'll take you into Orangeville. Take the HWY 9 turn off east and stay on that until you reach HWY 38 on the west side of Newmarket. Turn LEFT on 38 and stay on it until you get to MILLERS SIDE ROAD (hwy19.) Turn Right on that and it takes you east again around most of Newmarket and just stay on that until you come to Woodbine Ave (just past the 404) Turn left on Woodbine and then take the Right at the lights at Mt Albert Rd (hwy 13) and stay on that until you get to HWY 48 then turn left onto 48 and head north again.

I used to go to Beaverton to do a pickup when I was driving truck and going the way I suggested I found, is a little quicker, because you don't have to deal with ANY Toronto traffic.

Where is this Beaverton fishing place you speak of?

 

[Centerspin]

If you take that route TrevorM posted, (which is very good) from HWY124 don't turn left on HWY 10 in Caledon, Continue straight for about 5 miles,, you'll come to Airport road and after turning left and going about 2 miles you'll turn right on Hwy 9 in Mono Mills at the lights. This avoids Orangeville and HWY10 traffic all together. I drive this route a lot when going to Simcoe or other places off HWY 400/11

407ETR. Milton bottleneck is fixed as of last year...smooth sailing.

Thats a damn fine mess of perch!!

I forgot about that going straight at those lights in Caledon instead of turning on to hwy 10. It's been a while since I've been up that way

I was thinking about going to Simcoe with the colder weather here. Did you use an outfitter?

It’s tempting @DaveJ for anyone to go perch fishing to Beaverton,after seeing @Fish Farmer perch/herring fishing report! The ice fishing season what’s left of it is melting away fast!! Be Safe! & Tight lines & Perch ON!! if you do go to Beaverton for some perch fishing.

 

[Three Bouys]

Both of my boys are heading back to Nippissing tomorrow for the long weekend.

[going on line]

The ice is good?

That is my route of choice as well, been using that route for years anytime I am heading north for deliveries. Definitely the better route imo

Thanks Trevor for the info I may have to give that route a try.

I love the Herring out of Simcoe, Red, just gut, scale roll in flour and fry. I'm a "coaster" what do you expect
My buddy that was with me said I could have his if he catches any YUK
That had to be the smallest Herring I've ever caught, was hoping for more and bigger, they used to be bigger years ago when they had no limit.
We caught lots jigging with a Pearl.
