If I take a week vacation in 2008 for smallies up in Canada (Georgian Bay Area) What would be the best time of year to go?  I'd rather be catching quality fish than huge numbers, and I'd like to get into some pike/musky as well.  Any suggestions would be great.  Thanks

In the Georgian Bay area the season for bass opens the fourth Saturday in June. They can and will ticket you for fishing for bass or any other species out of season.

I went to western Ontario for years. The season is open year around and liked the second or third week in June so you might have prespawn, spawners and post spawn fish. I don't bed fish but I have caught my share of spawners that go right back unless hurt very bad.

Last year I went to eastern Ontario near Georgian Bay the fourth Saturday in June and we did well. Last year the season was the last Saturday in June which was also the fourth Saturday.
