Taylor Creek is a small urban stream winding through the east end of Toronto, Ontario, flowing through the Taylor Creek Park ravine system before joining the Don River. Situated at approximately 43°42′N 79°16′W, this creek corridor offers a surprisingly accessible urban fishing experience within one of Canada's largest cities. While modest in size, the creek supports a small but resilient fish community that has shown encouraging signs of recovery from decades of urban pollution pressure, making it an interesting destination for casual anglers and naturalists alike.
