The good news is the water is wide open again. The bad news is the water was murky brown today and nothing was biting. I did have one hit/miss but she never came back.
Oh well...a nice day just the same.
No ice or fish on the Rideau today...

Were yuou casting , trolling or drifting suckers?Simon,
I did everything today. It was strange, I have never fished in chocolate milk before. All the river launches were frozen over for a few days and then we had several days in a row of nice weather, with no wind. I thought today would be fantastic. Light winds, lots of sun, hungry fish (because nobody else had a chance to contact them for the last few days because of the ice), but I was wrong. I casted all of my muskie lures - nothing - I trolled - nothing - I drifted with sucker minnows - nothing. The only action I had for 4-5 hours happened in the first ten minutes while drifting with a minnow. I was a victim of a hit/miss/goodbye - the sucker minnow was whacked, and gashed, but he/she never came back. It was strange, the water was thick and brown - like chocolate milk, and I kept thinking to myself - "I bet you can't drink it slow.."
I talked to three other boats, and none of them had any luck today. I blame it on the Argos.....
