Thanks for this info about Silent Lake and the great pictures. Bought a mini tent trailer this summer and looking for new places to enjoy it. With fishing, swimming, hiking and biking all in a beautiful setting it's definitely on the list. Our usual destination is Bon Echo. I snorkel around at vario...

Family member bought a property on the Quyon river north of the 148. Any fish in it? Looks fast and shallow.

When I had my 14 ft pointed Sportspal I found rowing the best option. Sitting in the middle, the weight is evenly distributed, you have great control of the boat, two short oars and related hardware is a light propulsion package! You also have both ends of the canoe for all your stuff. Ok both hands...

Your sportspal looks great, professional job. It's satisfying when you can do your own mods and enjoy them, it's as fun as using the boat. I fixed up my old 14 ft aluminum with a new transom etc and used flat grey Tremclad on the inside, it's holding up well. I can get over to Shirley's bay from Ayl...

Got out on Lac Deschenes today and caught 3 small small mouths. Trolled with the oars around Shirley's bay and west of Aylmer Island. Not a great fishing day but fantastic weather. Took the carburetor restrictor plate out of the Mercury 2.2 and got it up to 16km per hour!

20170515_190619.jpg I didn't have to do anything to the sponsons; just push them down a bit out of the way. I remember having to drill out the rivets that held the original oarlocks, the new ones have four holes so I had to drill. I purchased the hardware at the Chandlery in Ottawa and picked up so...

I've had Sportspals for several years, started with a 14 ft pointed, I sold that and bought a used 14 transom. I also have a wide 14 ft aluminum but use the Sportspal more often just because it's easier! I upgraded the oarlocks and oar pins and constructed a mini Adirondack chair to row with some ba...

New to this forum; I too usually struggle to catch anything in the fall on the Ottawa (lac Deschenes). I was out last week during the day trolling around for over three hours before I finally caught a reasonable small mouth near Aylmer island. I had tied a floating yellow jig head and worm to a foot...
