For The Anglers

The Toronto Boat Show is perfect for anyone with any interest for heading out on the water - so anglers, rest assured, there'll be plenty of features just for you too!

A must-see for anglers is the Great Canadian Fish Tank. This 40-foot long aquarium is stocked with native Ontario marine life, something the kids will get a kick out of as they watch all the different fish swim by and interact with each other. It also serves as the home base for free fishing seminars, allowing curious anglers to not only learn new fishing tips and techniques, but also a chance for a unique perspective on how fish actually react to certain presentations. Daily seminars demonstrate how various fish react to various types of bait, step-by-step casting methods, and the latest tips on how to catch "the big one."

Fish TV hosts Leo Stakos and Ron James are on hand to help the future anglers catch live trout at the Kids Fishing Zone. With all those trout willing to bite there's sure to be all kinds of fun and laughter as kids take part in the great sport of fishing.

New this year to the show, you can pre-shop for the perfect fishing boat online. Canadian Boat Shows Inc. has partnered with Boatdealers.ca to offer the Official Boat Listing Service of the 2012 Toronto Boat Show. A complete and comprehensive boat-listing showroom, consumers can pre-plan and find information on specific boat models that will be on display at this year's show.
