Subject: Great time in Barrie

Hello

I wanted to thank the organizers of this event. We found out about it on google, went to your website and signed up - super easy. Great website! Most tournaments don't have this type of set-up yet, and it was appreciated as we were from out of town - Toronto.

We have never caught so many perch! Although we didn't win any prizes or catch any tagged fish, we'll be back!

thanks again
Steve

To whom it may concern,

I wanted to write to thank you for organizing the Barrie Fall Fishing Festival. I have lived in Barrie for over four years and have to say how much I appreciate the strong sense of community we have. I have been on the waterfront at 7am with coffee in hand watching the sun rise while catching perch every day this week. That is something that I would otherwise not do, but thanks to the Barrie Fall Fishing Festival it gives me the opportunity to enjoy the great fall mornings! As we grow as a city it is imperative that we continue to hold on to these amazing community events that make Barrie the unique amazing place it is to live!

On the same note, it is amazing to see the community response, families gathering together and casting a line in the hopes of catching one of the many tagged perch! It is a great opportunity for parents, kids and fishermen alike who do not have access to boats to participate in a week long fishing experience as perch can easily be caught from shore!

Thank you again to everyone behind the scenes that have worked so hard and to all the local businesses who support such a great community event!

May your lines be tight and the tagger perch be landed!

Best Regards,

Justin Maat

Purchased our tickets at the Rack and Reel and just spent two days on the water.  

CLOUDS of perch!! At one point, we had a school of perch under us 25 feet thick. we could see them over the side of the boat. That is nuts!!!!

I’ll bet we caught at least 500 perch each day between three of us… NO TAGS!!!! ( You can come clean„„ there are no tagged perch, it’s all a trick. LOL!!)

We had a great time in Barrie.. Barrie Rocks. We will be back.
