I guess nobody knows Bass lake? Came back from a nice couple of days fishing.Around 15-20 guys fished and a fat 19.5 inch large mouth was the biggest bass and a 29"pike was the biggest pike though we had a 30" on Friday but that did not count (One day tournament). What I did catch were som...

Fished for a couple of hours this morning near the Bronson bridge and got a coupe of nice pike and a smallish Musky (relaeased and healthy). I had never fished there before, but after reading some of the replies decided to give it a try. It sure looks like BIG fish water. Thanks for the tips. I hav...

A good place to catch Musky in town is under and around the Bronson bridge on the Rideau river. The area from the Rideau falls to the Bank street bridge is good for shore fishing.

I am going to Bass Lake around Smiths falls this weekend any points, hints or news i should now about this lake? I assume it has Bass in it?

I take it you launched from the Cumberland Ferry?
That is a fairly long ride out to Rideau Falls to look for Perch fry!
gotta be a closer place????

You can always participate in the Woodridge Musky classic.

If you dont want to go as far as Norway bay the launch at Quyon is free and good. The water is better above Ottawa but it has been cloudy since last weekends heavy rains. Also be careful on the Quebec side of the river you have all sorts of dead heads and cribs in the water. Head to the power lines ...

the whole river from Fitzroy to Constance bay is full of dead heads, more this year due to the lower water levels, i have been diving down rescuing musky lures off cribs and logs all summer.
Hopefully the water is clearing it was really murky on Wednesday.

As well as pounding the fish just off the spawn. Is that the same guide that you were convicted of trying to hire a hitman to break his leg...

I dont know if it is just me, but the gar population seems really healthy the last couple of years on the Ottawa, so much so i am afraid to go skinny dipping anymore since we caught one off of the dock!?!?!?!?!

Never fished for carp but i would like to try it some day. I have seen them under my dock on the Ottawa river, not as big as what you caught but decent sized. Do you chum the water with corn? If you are in a river with current do you chum up stream from where you will be fishing? Are you using a bob...
