Location:  In Oakville, about 20 km west of downtown Toronto via the Gardiner Expressway/Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) freeways.  Take exit #111, Bronte Road, south.  Bronte Creek is also known locally as 12 Mile Creek.

Access:  Travelling south on Bronte Road turn right into the Quality Inn parking lot immediately after passing under the QEW.  Park at the north end in near the gas station in a place where you don’t interfere with either the gas station or hotel’s customers.  Suit up in the parking lot and walk north down the dirt road built right beside Bronte Road to provide access for maintenace crews and equipment working on the QEW overpass over Bronte Rd. and Bronte Creek.  Walk through the bushes about 30 m to the creek.

Fishing method:  Fly fishing – Bronte Creek at this location is too small and shallow for a kayak.

What to expect:  Trout and salmon.

Comments:  The last time I fished this location in the early fall the creek was jammed with huge chinook salmon migrating upstream to spawn and the trout were nowhere to be found.  The salmon would not feed at all so no-one caught a thing but it was magical to stand in knee-deep moving water with hundreds of enormous chinook salmon swimming upstream past our legs.
