Re: Alittle question about Barrhaven

There is still some fishing options in barrhaven... Carp, walleye, Muskie, panfish.... PM if you want to some suggestions but the good thing about barrhaven is that there are some good spots on the Jock and the rideau that are in close driving distance.

Re: Rodbuilding stuff Ottawa-Gatineau

I ordered from Mudole and they have good products but you get an additional customs invoice when you order from them (an unplanned $20 from UPS or something IIRC). Better to order to ogdensburgh than Canada

WTB: Beginner 5 wt fly reel

Hi All,

Looking to buy a 5 wt fly reel (also looking for matched line, leader and tippet).... Picked up a rod which I can use as a fly rod and maybe trying to introduce myself to some fly fishing basics but looking to keep things inexpensive for now.

Re: burbot/ling......where and how?

The next full moon should see a spawn and have them making there way shallow (in numbers and in size)... they should be in full pre-spawn mode in the next couple of weeks. http://www.roughfish.com/burbot http://www.outdoorcanada.ca/burbot-ice-fishing-primer-part-1 http://www.outdoorcanada.ca/burbot-...

I have not fished this area in the past couple of years due to the amount of poison Ivy and wild parsnip but sounds like I may have to take a walk sometime soon: After years of community consultation and long-standing safety concerns, the RVCA is decommissioning the Hearts Desire Weir and beginning ...
