Trout fishing - 14 footer too small?

I bought a used 14 footer last year and I only fished for bass most of the
time. I want to try to fish Trout this Spring, but I heard that Trout are in
deeper water, will my 14' be able to handle the rough wave? because I went
to lake simcoe last year.. the water was rough... it was pretty scary.

Any place for Trout fishing in Toronto and area? suggestions? Thanks ..

I don't know about Ontario, but the "big" boat I use for trout fishing is
a 12-ft alum. skiff with 9.9 outboard. The smaller one is a "3-person"
inflatable SeaHawk I put on the back of my motorbike.

Now, for Salmon in the chuck I use a 36-ft sailboat...

The best trout fishing is in Colorado. And that's all I got to say
about that.

wrong, it's in west virigina.

It's hard to know how to answer Fishing Newbie's question. Some small boats
can take big water, but generally when they get into trouble, it can be bad
trouble. And it isn't always the size of the waves which matters, it's the
character of the waves. And it isn't the distance to shore, in terms of
saftey, it's the distance to refuge (port, harbour). The shore itself can be
the enemy.

Specifically, I haven't boated Lake Simcoe, but the stories are legion about
it blowing up suddenly and very, very hard. I would be very cautious there.

It isnt' always just the boat, it's also the boater. A friend of mine,
caught in big waves on Lake Ontario, was surprised to see an 18 footer zoom
by her big cruiser as she was slogging it towards "refuge" - he didn't look
up or wave or seem perturbed - just kept on going.

Joshua Slocum "hove to" in his boat, Spray, while bigger ships were pounding
through in heavy weather. Of course, his was still a 36 foot, enclosed boat.
But some small boats will ride up and down the waves while bigger ones crash
through them.

Sorry not to have a yes or no answer for Fishing Newbie. If in doubt, the
answer is no.

Kanada has nothing, You all do nothing but argue amongst yourselves
over politics and allow terrorists into your country.

Salmon maybe, but who wants that. Colorado in the good old USA is the
best trout fishing in the world.
