Tony Murphy Park Pond

I need to pick up my son from summer camp, and on the way, I’ll pass by my favorite fishing pond. So, I decided to bring my fishing rod and try to catch a few fish before heading to the camp. I’ve allocated about 15 minutes for this stop, so I need to search the water’s edge quickly. I cast my line near the weed line and, to my delight, immediately catch some small fish! They may not be big, but my goal is to land at least a few before picking up my son. Mission accomplished! #CatchKing

Bassin’ around! #CatchKing

Little fella wanted the worm #Catchking

My first carp! After seeing these little brutes in the magical tiny pond here last year, I decided to pop over yesterday for a try with bread. I wasn't patient enough yesterday and didn't hook up, while seeing them eat the leftover bread in front of me. Today I headed back after a morning of failed pike fishing and learned from my mistakes yesterday. Fight was fun on the UL rod

I have no idea what this thing is. Can anyone tell me

Summer is officially drawing to a close, but the kids are eager for one last adventure before school begins! So, over the weekend, I took them to my secret spot—"the Pond of Cozy"—for an exciting fishing session. This was their first time visiting this charming location, and they immediately fell in love with it, having a blast as they caught a variety of fish. We also encountered two other groups of anglers who were also enjoying great success throughout the day. Everyone shared their experiences and fun stories about the pond, creating a wonderful sense of camaraderie. It’s such a relaxing setting that I can already imagine next time I bring along my lawn chair, some coffee, and a good book while watching the kids fish.

I have fished at countless locations across the GTA, and this little pond ranks among one of the best on my list! I don’t keep my favorite spots a secret; if I find a place that’s great for kids and families, I’m happy to share it! I’ve visited this charming pond more than 20 times, and I can't hardly remember the number of times I’ve come up empty-handed! If you’re looking to enjoy a leisurely afternoon and learn how to fish, bring along a can of worms for some fun. Occasionally, you might even catch some carp here, so don’t forget to pack a can of corn as well!
