Re: boat launch - Lac McArthur (Quebec)

Pretty sure there used to be a bunch of great fishing reports out of this lake 8 or 9 years ago... Am I right? :)

LOST: Aviator Style Hat at Grasshopper Point

All, Sometime on Saturday Evening, I lost an aviator style hat. It has some sentimental value due to it having been my dad's. It is black, with rabbit fur trim around the forehead and ear flaps. Last seen near the parking area off Concession 9 near grasshopper point on Mississippi Lake. Wore it back...

Re: Looking for nice / good quality turkey mount kit

I could buy two of these to get free US shipping and have them shipped to a US address (perhaps on my next trip for work). they'd be $25 USD each. https://www.amazon.com/Walnut-Hollow-Country-Mounting-Display/dp/B005KP6WXE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1479435506&sr=8-3&keywords=turkey+mount an...

Looking for nice / good quality turkey mount kit

I shot my first gobbler this spring and kept his tail. It's all dried out now and ready to go on the wall. The trouble is that anytime i see a fan mount kit (online), it mostly looks like crap. for example: https://www.amazon.ca/Allen-Company-Hardwood-Plaque-Mounting/dp/B000TB8MAA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8...

Re: Cabelas or bps store?

If it is anything like the Cabelas in Barrie it will be very underwhelming. Plus Paddletales>Cabelas!!!!! Brian This..... As a fisherman, I was very disappointed in the Barrie Cabelas and if the Ottawa store is anything like it there will be only one visit and it will be a short visit. That said, i...

Re: Cabelas or bps store?

In the absence of bits and baits in Stittsville, does cabella`s sell Minnows??? Pretty sure I know the answer but still.... from what I'm reading online, the American stores do and the winnipeg one sells "seasonal bait". Doesn't show that for the Barrie store. Not sure about ours. I guess...

Really interesting, thanks. I figured there was quite a drop between shirley's and gatineau (again, the rapids and all near parliament). This is good info.

Re: Ottawa River Ice

Here is the latest. Due to a ice dam near Plantagenest the river has come up about 3.5 feet since Sunday. Crazy. Thanks for the update Yan. I wonder if the water level in west ottawa (constance bay and/or shirley's) is experiencing the same fluctuation. Anyone been out there to check it out? Ian

ah, good question.

Primary target is walleye and sauger, mostly in shallow (8-16 foot) water. Secondary would be pike/ling/catfish (can you tell where I mostly hang out?) :)
