Toronto Chapter

Welcome to the Toronto Chapters web page, my name is Steve Stewart and I am the 2012 Toronto Chapter Chairman of Muskies Canada. Muskies Canada has been a leader in the conservation of Muskies and the waters they inhabit since the late 1970's. As a club working together with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, many important initiatives have had a direct and entirely positive effect on the angling efforts of all people who angle for Muskie. Catch and release, a concept originally promoted by MCI and one that at the time was met with great resistance, has now brought anglers increased numbers of fish and larger fish. It is with the ever important angler log program that Muskie populations can be monitored and maintained. Other initiatives like the on going Lake Simcoe Muskie Restoration Project have shown some early success and are sure to enhance our understanding of the species and the aquatic environments necessary to a successful and self sustaining population of Muskie in not only Lake Simcoe but within other lakes as well. These and the many other important projects undertaken by MCI are at the heart of the club and will continue to result in more and better angling opportunities for future generations of Muskie hunters.

As the founding chapter of Muskies Canada we are excited about this year's line up of meetings, speakers and activities. We plan to have a varied line up of guest speakers from Ministry personnel, professional guides, industry professionals to seasoned anglers who can provide in depth fishing tactics on specific bodies of water. There will sure to be something for every member regardless of experience. Each meeting will be capped off by a prize table where members can win lures, hats, shirts and many other fishing related items.

Finally, the Toronto Chapter is pleased to announce that this year's chapter outing will once again take place on Buckhorn Lake at The Scotsman Point resort. As with past years the outing will take place on Buckhorn but will be open to other fishable waters. Please see the post below for more details on this great outing where over 50 legal Muskies entered is not unheard of! With a superb prize table, fabulous food and even better company, this is one outing you don't want to miss.

Please join us this year on the first Wednesday of each new month for an evening of learning, participation and fun. I look forward to see you at the meeting and on the water in 2012.

Toronto chapter meetings are held at 8pm at the Toronto Police Association building, 180 Yorkland Blvd., downstairs in the Yorkland Pub bar and restaurant. For a map please click the link below.

Please check back with this page regularly for updates on chapter events, guest speakers and meeting updates.

Best of luck for the 2012 season,
Steve Stewart
