Why The Franklin Club?

Our picturesque club provides a spectacular backdrop, for some of the finest trout fishing in Ontario. Conveniently located 50km North of Toronto, our members can enjoy license-free fishing 365 days a year. Our members often comment that the solitude is often reminiscent of a northern Canadian fishing experience close to home. Although there is no motor policy, lake fishing is conveniently accessed through British style punts to allow for fishing in the pristine environment of Franklin Lake. Members and guests have the opportunity to catch trophy-sized rainbow and speckled trout. Harrison Pond provides fly fisherman with the opportunity to enjoy fishing open water year-round.
