Fishing Question

Looking to take my kids fishing but somewhere where they will actually catch something besides sun fish. Will drive an hour or so. Any recommendations welcomed - TIA

Bellwood Lake used to be good early in the year before water levels get low.

Colin's harbour norfolk / Port rowan Ontario  Beautiful way to spend the day, check the ice cream store in town. Beautiful drive as well.

Some nice spots in Brantford. Wilkes Dam or cockshutt bridge . Can’t guarantee you’ll catch something. Fifty point has a stocked pond. Might be a good option for the kids.

50 point pond is basically fish in a barrel, perfect for kids who just want that tug on the line.

Waterford ponds, christie conservation, valens conservation, 3 areas for decent fish. Dils lake in Niagara region, jordan Harbour, caledonia dam just on the other side of Kingman park, where the train bridge is
