Location: Lake Ontario from the Niagara Peninsula half way between Grimsby and St. Catherines
Directions: Take the Queen Elizabeth Way westbound from Toronto, bypass Hamilton across the Burlington Skyway then continue easbound on the QEW towards Niagara Falls. Pass Grimsby and look for the “pirate ship”.
Access: Take the Jordan Rd. exit #55, just past the pirate ship, turn left (north) on Jordan Rd. then left again on Beacon Blvd. (the North Service Road) past Jordan Harbour Marina about 1/2 km to the west end entrance to the Best Western Hotel parking lot. Enter the hotel parking lot, continue west off of the pavement to the end and park in the small dirt area. There’s a path at the west end of the parking space about 15 metres down to the waters edge, inside the breakwall, where you can launch your kayak.
What to expect: Salmon & pike while trolling offshore by kayak, bass and perch along the shoreline.
Fishing method: Kayak
Where to go: Anywhere outside the marina breakwall.
Comments: This area is exposed to any west, north or east wind so keep a sharp eye on the weather. If it blows you could consider fishing inside protected Jordan Harbour itself, which is accessed via a canal beside the marina breakwall entrance that goes under the QEW. Keep an eye out for large, fast boats.

Hi,
Where are you from? Is it a secret?

No secret, Rufor. This is a brand-new blog started less than a month ago. I intend to post an “about me” page but just haven’t gotten around to it. I’m not really sure why it’s important for visitors to know details about me when what they really want is information about great places to fly fish, kayak fish and fly fish by kayak in Southern Ontario but they’ll be there before long. Patience is a virtue.
