CCC ?

Sometimes it is tough making the right decision, but it looks like you sure did!

Have fun with the whole family.

I guess it goes to show that there are a million ways to fish. I generally use lighter braid on spinning gear. Say 30-50lb Power Pro Super Slick (likely start winding on the new Maxcuatro as I need distance without a boat) I use an old med-hvy fiberglass rod, with a really slow tip. Frogs tend to be...

Ouch, being an early adopter can sometimes be PITA.

Glad I waited.... hope they sort things out for you.

really great information that is locally based

Get the racks!

Never been to that location, but while shore fishing is often possible the ability to get out on the water is the best.

Besides - she gets what she wants, so you can maybe get what you want. (especially if you can then leave the camper and get into some really back area lakes)

Trust me if you knew what your steaks were standing in...

Actually the more places that are posted the less it becomes a highway... spreads things around. Posting a location doesn't make more anglers.... ... however posting more locations spreads them out.

Pretty freaking special!

Cool fish!

Ummm.... I'm really confused now - I didn't say they were introduced to Eastern Canada or the USA... just the Ottawa River. Are you now saying they are a Native Species to the Ottawa River? You just said that you haven't ever seen them in the Ottawa River. I even posted the generally accepted distri...

WOW.

Awesome doesn't do it justice - those fish look incredible.

Gotta be a great start to the year!

Thanks for sharing.

@Houner - This link is to the updated webpage for the book you are referencing. http://www.briancoad.com/ncr/contentsncr.htm#Amiidae Hopefully they come out with a new book soon!

I've spent countless hours in the shallows of the Ottawa River around the city and have NEVER seen one. In the lakes I have caught them you do see them, fairly often. They are prolific in the St. Lawrence that's for sure. Lakes I have caught them in. Dog and Beverley. RJ Which brings me full round ...

@RJ - agreed they aren't guppies and they wouldn't be listed under Bowfin. They would likely be Amia calva or some other kinda cute name usually a native or other historical name most likely: German Bass Brindle Beaverfish Scaled Ling Cypress Trout Choupique Dogfish Here is one of the better pages o...
