for pike and perch check out the canal in cardinal down by the legion and bridgeview marina in johnstown. also i'm sure there are a few spots guys are fishing that you could see from the road if you head east along hwy 2 from cardinal. a call to carpins in ingleside might help too.

I caught 5 walleye this morning in an hour, all were too small to keep though, which is strange but at least something was biting. Send me a pm and I could point you in the right direction, as long as you don't mind some thin ice

The islands/bays of the Long Sault Parkway, between Ingleside and Long Sault, are a good starting point, and the ice is safe. If you drive along the #2 in that area you'll see a small village of huts just outside Hoople Bay. Unfortunately the parkway itself is under repair and is gated off for the season, so it's a long walk to some spots.

Beyond that you have to search for sheltered spots here and there because the current makes it impossible--or unwise!--to fish much of the river. Right now it looks like much of the river is iced over, but I suspect that it's a pretty thin sheet in many places.

Again, it's worth taking a look 'n see drive along the #2, because many of the places that are fisheable are visible from the road.
