From one of the few bodies of water they stock in zone 18.

Me and my good buddy Chris got out for some Lake Ontario lakers last weekend. Trip started for me Saturday with getting the boat out from winter storage and motors on the back and all the gear ready. Sunday was the day tho winds were looking perfect gear was loaded gonna be a good day. I left Ottawa...

Did my first full day of ice fishing Sunday. Left my place at 4:45 hit the road in the snow and it seemed too pay off. Started the morning with a long walk to the spot we wanted too fish. We set up in 18-25ft of on the drop off from about 10ft down too 25-30. The mroning started busy with lots of go...

I’ve spent a lot of time and effort chasing trout and it really has paid off this time.

Been laking on my post and I’m about to post my first ice fishing post so figured I’d do my late summer fall recap. Starting the start of August I s made a couple trips up too the swisha dam to do some walleye fishing. Me and my buddy Chris had a good first trip up there. We mostly trolled cranks or...

Orange and brown plastic swim bait. Not large either about 5in.

I’ve been trying to get myself an urban/close too home musky for a while now. Being in Ottawa I have to option Rideau river and Ottawa river. I decided to target Rideau river. Mostly fishing Mooneys bay down to Dows Lake. I like to pack light and cover as much water as possible. There’s walking path...

30” laker I got trolling this weekend. 75ft of water Downrigger at 60ft with a 3” black and white spoon.

That’s the size I run. Perch colours seem to work good. I do upsize the tremble and put on a high quality one. I don’t have spot lock either but I use a tiller boat. So I keep the motor running and just back into the wind and shift between forward and reverse as needed. Takes some practice. I’ve als...

I made it out Sunday morning with my buddy Chris onto the big Rideau. I go out every opening weekend on the Rideau so we have our spots and lures already picked out. We leave the boat launch at about 6 and make the 20-30min run to the spot. We set up to start “sharpshooting” the lake trout. 862B8871...

In anticipation of opening this weekend I thought I would bring this post back up. I’ll be hitting the Rideau Sunday morning, using these same techniques. Hopefully they work again this year. If anyone gets out Saturday let me know how the bite is!

Those are very healthy looking Lakers ! I'm jealous, still another couple weeks before I can after them on my lake. Curious what the water temps were like, how deep were you fishing, and what they were biting (same as first post) ? Thanks, always trying to learn something new.. Yes I’m looking forw...

Few more Quebec lake trout! Biggest so far 27.5. Hoping to find a 30+ soon.

Few close ups of that beautiful wild salmon.

My parents recently purchased a cottage on the Quebec side, so I’m going to be doing a lot of fishing up there in the coming years. This weekend was my first real try at fishing the lake and it went amazing. It’s a massive shield lake with a big basin that is about 330ft in the middle, springs, stee...
