Angling:
Fishing off the Trotter and Carolina dykes can be good for northern pike, bullheads and carp. Due to Tiny’s shallow nature, most fish are small, as winter kills annually take a toll. Access for fishing is best via the 2nd Concession Tiny Township East and from the main dyke parking lot. Please take all bait containers, fishing line and food wrappers home with you!
Canoeing:
Canoes are allowed in Tiny Marsh. We ask for extreme CAUTION during the nesting season, April to June, to protect wildlife that nests on, above and near the water.
Motors:
Not permitted.
Hunting:
Waterfowl hunting is the most popular and traditional form of hunting at Tiny Marsh. An early goose season occurs in early September, followed by the regular duck and goose season that customarily opens the last Saturday in September. Waterfowlers need a canoe or small boat for best results. Temporary blinds are permitted, but are not supplied. Chest waders and a good dog are prerequisites for success.
Common species harvested are mallards, wood ducks, blue-winged teal, black ducks and Canada geese. Waterfowl hunting is allowed under permit ONLY (see fees for details) issued at the kiosk in the main parking lot.
Other forms of hunting that occur at Tiny Marsh include deer, turkey, grouse, rabbit, coyote and woodcock to name a few.
Trapping:
A licensed trapper helps control problem wildlife at Tiny Marsh.
NOTE:
All provincial and federal laws and regulations apply to hunting, fishing and trapping at Tiny Marsh. See the current Ontario Hunting Regulations Summary and/or Fishing Ontario: Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary for applicable details.
