Ottawa River fish studies

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.

Ottawa River fish studies

Post by kingofbeasts »

I was searching info about prey fish in Ottawa River and I came across this study made on Walleye and Sauger quite a while ago.
https://ruor.uottawa.ca/handle/10393/11003
I couldn't help wondering if this study will still be accurate today and if are there newer studies out there and/or similar studies on other species?
Is there anybody who knows about them and cares to share?

Not necessarily related to bait fish but I found "A Biological Synopsis of Walleye" from the federal department of fisheries and oceans. Interesting read and it dates from 2009.

There's actually a few publications for some of the most popular species, just type "A Biological Synopsis of Smallmouth Bass" in google and it will give you a link to the publication.

Thank you very much , that’s the Info I was after. I Want to pour some custom soft plastics and I was interested in local most wanted baitfish (shapes , sizes and colors).
