Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

October Fishing Report
Cooling water and fresh bait pushes have October fishing around Toronto firing. Chinook and coho salmon stage at river mouths and harbor piers; pre-dawn and dusk see the best bites on glow spoons, crankbaits, and skein under a float. Early steelhead and brown trout show after rain pulses, especially when water has a light stain.
Inside the Toronto Islands and marina basins, northern pike prowl remaining weed edges; slow-rolled spinnerbaits and suspending jerkbaits work as temps drop. Offshore humps and breaklines in 20–35 ft hold late-season smallmouth bass; tubes, blade baits, and ned rigs get eats on subtle presentations. Mixed schools of perch gather in calmer slips—small live minnows or micro-jigs excel.
Look for stable barometer and a light northwest to west wind for clearer shorelines; a windy, overcast afternoon can outproduce a calm bluebird morning. Water temps typically slide into the 10–14°C range—slow down retrieves accordingly.
Top tip: Carry two setups: a long float rod for salmon/trout and a medium spinning outfit for pike/perch—being able to switch quickly when bait shows or wind shifts keeps you on active fish.
Best Fishing Spots in the greater Toronto area
Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 8 beaches and bays in this area.
