Getting there

At the very tip of the Bruce Peninsula where Georgian Bay meets Lake Huron, the water turns genuinely deep fast - up to 541 ft off the north coast - and weather can shift from calm to dangerous with little warning. Real local guidance worth passing on: nearby Dyer's Bay is a more exposed launch point where building waves have caught boaters off guard on the way back in, so check conditions carefully before heading out. Trolling the deep, often crystal-clear water is the standard approach for salmon and trout here.
