Big Rideau Lake

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.

Big Rideau Lake

Post by Steve G »

In the fishing regs it has

Big Rideau Lake (The Bog and Long
Island) - poo poo and Burgess Twps

Fish sanctuary - closed all year.

Can someone on here tell me what part of the lake this is referring to?

I will be camping at Murphy's Point this weekend and would hate to be in the wrong spot.

Thanks

maps from fishhawk

Post by jsdx »

see

http://www.fish-hawk.net/hawktalk/viewt ... 053#240705

For reference - Murphys point is at the top of the map near rocky narrows label.

Long island is marked on the map. The water "inside" the island borders is the sanctuary.

The Bog is marked at the south end as the fish sanctuary and is shown as "little lake"

For a map of other side of narrows, see http://www.fish-hawk.net/hawktalk/viewtopic.php?t=19052 - again - Murphys point is across from the rocky narrows text on the map.

Have a nice trip, lots of water to fish.

JIG'S...you are my new best friend and hero buddy... 8) :D

An anglers who calls it like it is "NUMBNUTS"...doesn't get any more self explanatory that.

May an 8 pound largemouth engulf your top-water this summer.

Not a dig at you, Bradford. All you did was ask the question. Nice to see someone showing an interest.

The Rideau (for eg.) really gets nailed with respect to bass, and whatever else uses sanctuary water - sunnies, and crappies I would imagine; and I shudder to think what would happen without them (sanctuaries). T'would be a pretty barren lake.

Also; thanks, Big Jim, and Dropshotter:lol:

:wink:
