Ice fishing near Allumette Island and/or SandBay

Post by **pchilli1** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 1:56 pm

Good afternoon all,

Firstly, thanks for all the tips over the past few months. I have since decided to join the crew.

My Questions:
1) My family and I recently purchased a cottage on Allumette Island. I fished all summer and caught lots of nice eyes, bass and pike, but have not yet ventured out to try my luck ice fishing. The water way out in the middle of the Ottawa river is open quite late in the winter (from what I remember last year) however we are quite a ways away from this. Has anyone ever ice-fished near Allumette Island (we are close to the light house)?
2) Has anyone been ice-fishing in Sandbay, near Shawville (in Quebec).

Cheers all and I wish you a safe an plentiful fishing season!

Paul

Hey Paul;

Whatever information you find out please post.

I have a friend up that way and would be curious about any comments
involving ice fishing around that area.

Also, is there a place on the island where you can get a Quebec
day pass for fishing?

Thanks,
Steve

Hey. Allumete can be great for eyes during the winter, you just need to find the right spot. Usually the will be in around 12fow if i remember from last year. Use a small spoon tipped with a minnow. If you find them you should have no problem getting them. Also use this to catch ling, we have a good population of ling up there.

On the other hand, pike and panfih are a bit harder to catch up there. Pannies are usually caught with waxwormes with a genz bug. And for pike use good size minnow and bring it a foot off bottom.

If you have any questions let me know!

The only fishing I did in Sand Bay is a week after opening weekend for walleyes. And in my buddies"Guest Book" he has at the cottage I entitled that weekend as Walleye Slaughter. on a small creek coming in to the Ottawa, it's about 3/4 of a mile long we used to troll up and down the creek and we would catch a minimum of 10 eyes per pass it was unbelievable. All on Black and Gold floating rapalas.
