Rideau River Merrickville

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.

Rideau River Merrickville

Post by markusmarine »

Hey Guys,

Does anyone have any advice for targeting walleye from a boat on the Rideau river from Merrickville to Kilmarnock? I've never hit this stretch of the river before, but was interested in checking it out. I've had a lot of success down river and was thinking about trying a new area. Here's one from earlier this year closer to Kemptville. Thanks!

Markus

Hey Markus, great pic! That stretch from Merrickville to Kilmarnock can be productive—try slow trolling along deeper channels near weed edges, especially early morning or late evening. Jigging near structure or current breaks has worked for me in that area.

Awesome, thanks for the advice! Which boat launch would you recommend in the area. Is it the one by Boat Launch and Beek road? What do you like to troll with?
