JOCK RIVER suggestions

Post by **Eli** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 6:19 pm

Heading down to the jock for a couple of hours tomorow for some piketacular action (i hope!).

Havn't fished the jock in about 4 years (except for the jock-rideau junction).....any suggestions?

Try around the Richmond area...Steeplehill Rd area...good at the park at the north end of this road...had many a pike and small muskie from in there.

Also the road bridge going over the river at Cambrian provides some sport(south of Steeplehill).

There is also the chance of walleye.

Thanx Brit.

I was thinking of trying a bit further south at Eagleson. What do you think?

My suggestion would be to throw a canoe in and fish the whole river.

Looks like this may be my 1st year not fishing the Jock and I have fished most of it in the past.

She won't give up a lot of fish but when she does it's great.

The furthest south I have fished is to the 1st bridge in Richmond coming from BarrHaven and it's all good. Sorry I never fished it from shore and can't recommend a spot.

There is a boat launch just past the Richmond Centennial GC clubhouse. Work your way upstream along the rail line until you hit a beaver dam. If you still have time on your excusion, head downstream from the launch, but uptream is deeper and sees less action..

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!!

I was actually there last Sunday for about an hour and a half. I only had one bite and it bit me off...so I'm guessing pike. Hit a walleye grub. I tried throwing bigger baits (w/ steel leader

) but to no avail.

Wish I had more time to explore this river....damn midterms
