Walleye, crown land camping spots on the upper Ottawa?

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Walleye, crown land camping spots on the upper Ottawa?

Post by Esox_Lucius »

Looking to have one last good kick at the can for Walleye before the snow flys/fly's/flies/whatever! :lol:
Anybody know of any good spots on the Ottawa above Pettawawa, that also has crown land that I could pitch a couple of small tents on.
I could also sleep in the back of my truck but I'm going with a buddy and it's only a 6ft box......nyaaaa that could be uncomfortable. :shock: :lol:
Don't mind driving a few hours to get there, trying to get away from the areas with higher population densities.
Also would like to get my hands on some hydrographic charts/maps of that area of the river.
Can any of you good people help me with the above?

Thank you

Maybe the folks at deep river outfitters would have some ideas:

Actually what I should have said was: above the Dam up to (and including) Mattawa.
Sorry bout that. :oops:

I have heard that you can camp on the island across from Bissett Creek. You can launch at either Stonecliffe or Mackey Creek. Not sure about the Walleye fishing there.

Cheers,

Thanks for the info Salar. :)
You don't know if there's a place to launch from closer to the island do you?
I checked Google maps, and it looks like a fairly long boat ride from Stonecliff/Mackey to the island across from Bisset Creak in a 12ft aluminum with a 9.9.
Have you actually fished that stretch of the river, and if so, how was it?

Anybody out there have any info about the Mattawa area?

I haven't fished up as far as Bissett Creek. Furthest up I have fished is across from Stonecilffe. Caught a few walleye at 30-35 feet deep trolling crankbaits.

Had much better walleye fishing below the Dam at Swisha. You could stay at Ryan's Campsites and then trailer your boat to Swisha.

Cheers,

Salar.

Thanks Salar,

where abouts is the put in at Swisha, and how far below the dam were you catching them?
