After last years success there will definitely be a washroom on the ice and we will also have a chip truck on the ice operating weekends as well.

With the funky weather we have been getting in February these last few years, how about end of January? Saturday the 27th of January looks good on our calendar.

Two years ago Fish-Hawk hosted the derby and last year due to liability concerns, Oziles hosted it. We will gladly host it again if the interest is there for one...

Rental is $35.00 for the day. You can book it ahead of time and use a credit card to hold the reservation.

The bacteria in the summer was e-coli and as mentionned it needs warm waters to live. In addition it has a life of only 36-48 hours. The problem this summer was tied to a constant source of pollution. Tests have shown the source NOT to be the water treatment plant nor any of the small rivers. Suspec...

As the new ramp is not on the main river, we designed it so that it can be used until the ice is too thick to make it out...with the bridge current this would allow for fishing very late in the season..

Hi, The area south west of the parking is designate a conservation area. At this time the city is not stopping you from ice fishing. They have posted signs asking people not to fish during the summer in the long pond parallel to the cottage road leading to the wooded area. Generally speaking, no one...

Seeing that the opinions are quite varied and that there are good and qualified participants, I would like to float a couple of ideas for next year. 1) What would be the reception to a "membership card" The card would entail the user to say a free launch for each five paid launches or by p...

Thanks again for the feedback. For those that do launch frequently, you can buy a season or monthly pass which will substantially reduce your launch fees. If you launch about once a week for the season, you are looking at about $3.00 per launch for the big one and $1.50 for the small... The boats ha...

I appreciate the feedback regarding the price. Agreed that there are places to launch for free in and around Ottawa and for those who are comfortable launching from there, great! no one should pay for something that they don't need or want. Thus why no tax dollars were involved in the building of ou...

The new ramp is now open and ready for use. We have been unofficially open for a couple of weekends now, finishing up on a few last minute items but we are fully operational! We are planning on a grand opening in the next couple of weeks...price for the launch is $14.00. The price for the small laun...

Well, after three years of tedious work and planning, the new ramp is now complete and operational. Although we won't have an official opening for a couple of weeks, we have started letting boaters launch from it as of this last Saturday. The new ramp has a concrete base and is sloped to allow even ...

Well, things are moving forward again! The last couple of weeks have seen the concrete beams being poured, the boardwalks being installed, grading of the out of water portion of the ramp, installation of the interlocking bricks, lansdcaping and grading for the parking area! As we cannot do any in wa...

I like the suggestion. Note that the new ramp will not be completed in time for the derby. Participants will have to use the regular ramp. Official opening is targeted for the end of the first week of July. What I am willing to do is donate half of all derby launch fees to the camp kids....
