Hey folks
Just moved to Ottawa from Thunder Bay. I typically fish for walley and trout but will hook into anything. I would greatly appreciate a few locations (not exact) to start off.

Welcome aboard fish_on. May sound like a dumb answer but try the Ottawa River for good fishing. No trout but everything else is in it. As for trout try the backroads map book for many a spot. Good luck to you

The Champlain Run Trout Club stocks brown trout in the Ottawa R. yearly. For more details check out http://www.greendrake.com and click on the "Conservation" link.

I am surprised that there isnt more trout in this river or more trout that is stocked.... one would think that in the olden days i.e. back in the 1700-1800's there would have been plenty of trout in this river?


OH....BTW... welcome aboard Fish_on!!! and yes... check out the back roads map book and head out to a stocked trout lake. I hope you dont get too dissapointed at the quality of walleye fishing here compared to back home

Hi and Welcome.
Unfortunately it is not a good area for trouts. (as far as I know I am new in Canada / Ottawa but I did investigate)
Except the brown trouts close to Champlain bridge, you will need to dive a bit to find some.

For walley send me a PM and I can give you one or two spots.
If you prefer we can also meet and go a session one afternoon (except if weather is too cold or too windy).

BTW how do you fish trout ? Fly ?
