hey Jeff

and welcome to Fish-hawk.net

the best advice i can give you is do a research to see if anybody else fish's the Lanark area.

i've been succesful with crank baits.

cordell suspending eye, tiger color.

good luck.

I've done ok so far, picking up 8 on Fri and 4 sat. all caught on the Ottawa river west end) trolling med size, sunfish color Big O's. The water is high and the surface temp ion this area is only 55 degree's

Look around shallow area's that hold bait in the eve to dark. I don't know what lake you fish so....

Good luck, CC Lad.

I caught a pile of walleye this past Friday on Dalhousie lake. Using jigs, they were in about 3-6 feet of water.

Well, i just tried a lake today in Lanark county for some walleye (I am a bass guy) and I don't know much about catching them. Got to the launch and met a guy who said he had pulled a few out of the lake last week in 20-30 fow and i was surprised.

I was expecting to hear that they would be close to the feeder creek after the spawn. Long story short, water temp at the surface was 55 and was 48 or so 20 ft down.

I landed two good size eyes today (sunny cloudless skies) in 25 and 30 ft of water close to bottom but saw many suspended 10 ft down over 30-40 ft of water. I'll post a report.

Hope this helps.

I disagree.

We were out today and were SLAYING them in 15-17 ft of water.
Majority were in the 2-5lb range. Not bad for the Miss....

Braved the rain and SNOW (yes Snow) Saturday morning on the Barron/Petawawa Rivers, we ended up with 11 in the boat, generally we were getting them in 28-35 feet.

Monday afternoon the young lad and I picked up 6 more in about 20-25 feet on the Ottawa near the Mouth of the Bonnechere River. Jigging with minnows.

A buddy and I did alright boating 13 over a very wet Saturday morning before thunder and lightning drove us off the lake about 10:30am.
Fin-Tech nuckleball jigs ( I used pink/white , he used orange) tiped with minnows did the trick. We were in 20-35 FOW.
