Fishing near London, Ontario
London sits in Middlesex County in southwestern Ontario, straddling the Thames River where it winds through the city's core. The Thames and its tributaries — including the North Thames, Medway Creek, and Kettle Creek — put fishable water within minutes of most neighbourhoods. Fanshawe Lake, just northeast of the city, is the area's most popular still-water destination, while the broader Thames corridor draws anglers on foot from Greenway and Harris Parks to Westminster Ponds.
