Tony D’Amario, CAO/Secretary-Treasurer of the Conservation Authority comments “fishing is a popular activity and St. Johns Conservation Area offers a perfect setting for this sport. Each year, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority stocks the pond with Rainbow Trout, in an effort to provide anglers of all ages an opportunity to fish in Niagara’s own coldwater stream, while enjoying the scenic beauty of St. Johns.”
D’Amario adds “the Conservation Authority has provided this opportunity for the public to enjoy since 1963.
In addition to fishing, the site features wheelchair accessible facilities and an abundance of natural beauty and scenic trails. Visitors can enjoy the unique network of trails in the Carolinian Forest Tulip tree stand and variety of songbirds, making it an ideal spot for those who enjoy a quiet appreciation of nature.
Admission is FREE and a concession service will be available on site.

Yes, because who doesn’t enjoy hooking a sharp piece of metal through the face of a fish now and again? It’s too bad that people can’t be satisfied with, as you say, the abundance of natural beauty and scenic trails. No, they need to kill, maim and suffocate other animals while they’re at it to have a truly wonderful experience! 😦

Wow that was odd. I just wrote an really long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up.
Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say wonderful blog!
A Brief Note from NAL publisher Doug Draper – I wish to thank Mr. Schiller for joining our growing audience readers and am sorry to learn from him that a longer comment he wanted to share here somehow did not get through. I can only say from this side that many other comments are getting through and I hope he is not discouraged from trying again.
