Carp fishing on Ottawa river or other places in Ontario

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.

Carp fishing on Ottawa river or other places in Ontario

Post by Anton »

I'm planning a holliday to Ontario in september,
Because I often fish carp in the Netherlands, I would like to try to catch some in Canada too,
Does anyone have some tips and information to get me started.
I'm planning to spend some time west of ottawa city nearby the river ottawa. But I haven't booked anything yet so my options are open for any other good swims in ontario.
Is carp fishing any good there? What are the best locations? Are there any webpages where I can find more information?

hi anton

yes the st lawrence is great for big carp. they are also in the rideau but harder to find.

there are a couple of places you can stay in cornwall but getting overun with us english carp fishermen!

caigers resort at the southern point of the st lawrence (Gannanoque) is where i caught my first st lawrenece carp- great place and people, give it a try.

Welcome to Fish-Hawk Anton...if you do decide to stay west of Ottawa near the Ottawa River, let me know and maybe we can get out on my boat to try for some Muskie hunting if you're interested :)

Welcome to the Hawk Anton..

If your into a real work out the Ottawa River is a good place for Bass.. those Carpo are nothing compared to some of the big bass out there...Lots of bigins that love a good fight with a baitcaster....
