Upcoming Fishing Events In Southern Ontario For April 2011
April is a great month for fishing in Southern Ontario. The ice is finally going out and that means fishing is just around the corner. Many anglers are already heading out on Lake Ontario and it won’t be long before other water bodies are open. Until that time there are many fishing events to attend.

The is a live release festival. Details can be found online.
And of course, the most important day of the month, at least where I live, is April 23 – Trout Opener! It feels like I’ve been waiting a long time for this date and I can’t believe it’s only a few weeks away.
If you live in Southern Ontario do yourself a favor and keep these dates in mind.
