As far as mentioning accessibility, I would class that under "making it easier". If you want big fish then it'll take a little effort. Plan a Spring fishing trip and come up north for a week (assuming that you are down south where I think you are). That's what we do and we have a great time. 
I've fished all over Canada and it's no big secret that the best fishing is in bodies of water that don't have easy access and don't have allot of fishing pressure. IMO That's because other anglers don't want to make the extra effort or spend the extra on gas to get to them. If you want to catch bigger fish easier and more often then you have to go out and get them (off of the beaten path) not try to bring the fish to you. |
I'm totally with you here. I love strapping on the backpack and wearing some rubber of the soles to find good spots. However, I couldn't say it better than FishPro:
"Yes the best fishing is where the access is tough, but that same type of fishing could easily be achieved where access is easy with the proper regulations."
They're doing it in the Manitoba Parkland, we've got to be able to do it here.
Cheers.
