Short trip for me.. just into Big Bob for a couple of days..Gotta get in though.. Cabin fever..
Where is everyone else headed?
I was also hoping to head in on the 22nd. Up the Tim River to Devine Lake. Let's hope the ice is gone by then!

I'm considering investing in a new PFD and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. The primary use will be for canoe trips and I'm not looking for anything too fancy.

Another great post.I really enjoy these logs you've been posting. I think I'm going to start keeping a journal each night on future canoe trips.
Thanks for sharing.

Very little traffic on those dates. Don't expect to catch much on that route though, except maybe on Sittingman.
On your website you write, "It's scenic, secluded with less traffic than other locations in the park, full of Brook Trout, harbours plentiful wildlife and is surrounded by beautiful forests." To be honest this description is one of the things that made me consider this route for my destination. Is it only further along the Tim that this becomes true?
If you are spending time on Sittingman or perhaps a little further on, and you are feeling adventurous look North of the canoe route. Some good lakes and creeks in the area.
Thank you for the heads up. We would definitely be able to make our way into Devine lake and depending on conditions could even try to make our way into Saw-Whet Lake. From what I can tell from Jeff's Map these are the only relatively close lakes that also hold fish. Are they the ones you were thinking of?
Thanks for all the replies everyone.

Hopefully this will count as an acceptable hijacking of this thread. I'm planning a trip on the Tim River and didn't want to start a parallel thread when this one is already here.
My plan is to do a 4 night trip with my buddy to do some trout fishing on April 23 - 26. I was thinking we would camp on Tim Lake on the 22nd (no fishing obviously). Make camp on Rosebary on the 23rd, and Sittingman Lake on the 24th. Our final night on the 25th will be back on Rosebary and then out of the park on the 26th.
Any thoughts on this plan for that time of year? Things we should be aware of? Should we expect lots of traffic on the water? Also, would you make any adjustments to the trip? We are certainly capable of travelling a much further distance, and if we would likely have better fishing and/or more beautiful sights I would be happy to do so.
Appreciate any of your thoughts.

Thanks for all the replies so far.
I realize that most people aren't too excited about giving out their hot spots, but even general information is great. As I said before I've only been to Algonquin once, so I don't know if there are particular advantages of one section of the park over another. I have just placed an order for all four of Jeff's Maps so hopefully these will help in my planning.
I will also explore all of the webpages that have been recommended. Thanks for those.

Hello Everyone,
I am hoping to plan a canoeing/fishing trip with my buddy to Algonquin Park for trout opener. We are hoping to be there for a few days either during the opener (April 23), or the week after (April 30). I'm relatively new to Algonquin Park and only visited once last year in the Kiosk lake area. I'm looking for any information that you can provide about fishing the park this early in the season. We also want to make a canoe trip out of it, so we are expecting portages and willing to travel good distances within the park. I recognize that many of the smaller interior lakes are often still frozen over this early in the year, but I'm wondering if you guys think this might be different this year with the relatively light winter and warm weather we are having now.
Any advice would be appreciated.
