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.

For those who occasionally get skunked--remember it is called FISHING not CATCHING.

Note golden lake is in division 15 ... Pike season in division 15 doesn't open until the 21st which is the 3rd sat in May.

Also note that Golden lake is closed to walleye fishing until 2007.

see exceptions - http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/MNR/pubs/fishi ... fr2005.pdf
"-----
Golden Lake (45°34’N., 77°21’W.) and the Bonnechere River downstream of the Tramore (Round Lake) 15 Walleye closed unitl 2007.

Who knows, let the wind and weather be our guide!

Cheers,

MH

Ottawa River Opener - Friday the 13th

Post by Seaweed »

Well the wife and another couple we know headed out to fish the opener on the Ottawa and enjoyed a fantastic day. We boated a bunch of pike and a few OOS bass... the wife couldn't stay off of them.... and the day was great once it warmed up.

I want to let everyone know though that the Ottawa right now is at about Summer level rather than Spring level. The rain this weekend should bring it up a bit.. but anyone heading out be careful.

Here are some shots.

Me and Pike

The wife and ... OOS bass.. tisk tisk... she smiled though :wink:

The pike were hot .... hitting everything in sight. :twisted:

Nice start to the season and a few good points for FishLips team. :lol:
