Hey Everyone,

As the ice fishing season seems to be coming to an end I was just wondering, what do people do between now and May in the Ottawa area? Do you fish open water once the ice starts breaking up or do you just wait it out till bass and pike opens in June?

Cheers,

Hi Everyone, I have been ice fishing a bit over the last few years and I am hoping to bring things up a notch this year. My buddy has a deeper fish finder and that works ok except for the battery and accuracy. I'm thinking of buying a serious fish finder but I have a pretty tight budget ($100 - 150)...

Thanks for the response! That makes sense about how it is never too late but patterns will change and make it more challenging. Here's hoping I have some luck this week!

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if it was too late for me to shore fish around the Ottawa area?

Cheers,

Hi Everyone, I am planning to go camping for a few days with some friends and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for good places to camp and fish. Preferably I would not like to travel farther than 4 hours away from Ottawa. Also I don't have a boat so either a place where I can rent a cano...

Hi everyone, I've made a few posts now on FH but have been following for quite awhile. Seeing how well the community interacts has inspired me to put myself out there. I was wondering if there was anyone who was willing to let me fish along with them and expand my fishing buddy list (boat or shore) ...

I might be there too! Looking forward to meeting some of you.

I went out the other day to test my luck too but didn't get any bites. I even checked out victoria island on the Ottawa after trying a few spots to see if it was open. The current today on the Rideau seems to be slower than it was earlier this week so hopefully if the weather holds up the water will...

Hi Everyone, I was just wondering what your thoughts were about fishing along the Rideau. I noticed in my area downtown that the ice is gone but the water levels are pretty high and the current is fast. Is it worth it to start fishing yet or am I just too keen? Would it be better if I made the trip ...

Hey Everyone,

I'm thinking about going out to shirleys on foot tomorrow. Do you think the ice will hold up still? The ramp definitely doesn't seem welcoming.

Hi Everyone, I'm thinking about going ice fishing on Monday March 14th. I was wondering if the ice is still safe around petrie or shirleys? I don't have a car so no need to worry about that since I'll be on foot. Also which is better around this time of the year? It's probably going to be my last tr...

Great! Good to know that I'm on the right track and will be in good hands with Adam. Here's hoping for a sucessful fishing trip.

Hi Everyone! I was wondering if any of you had some tips for ice fishing this weekend on White Lake, specifically in Three Mile Bay. I will be renting a hut near cedar cove resort and fishing from 1:30 - 10:00ish. My plan is to use tip-ups, jigging rods, both tipped with minnows, and a flasher. Any ...

Hi Everyone, I think I'm done with ice fishing this season so I thought I'd pick your brains on some decent places to fish from the shore in the spring time. If there is any spot where I can get some walleye that would be great but I'm open to all suggestions as long as there's fish. I don't really ...

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering what ice fishing in the south channel at petrie is like. Is it worth my time or is the current generally too strong?
