Cool, a soft water burbot is always an interesting and un expected cartch. Congratulations!

I don't wade much but most of the local Ottawa river spots tend to be on the rocky side. On the Rideau I have seen people fly fishing: - Watsons Mill (the lower side) - Nicolls island (the lower dam side on the west not the lock side); Apparently this is a good spot to fly fish redhorse - Carelton U...

Lots of Spots for Gar on the Ottawa river:

- Shirleys Bay
- Dick Bell
- Petrie Island
- Morris Island Conservation area.

Good luck!

Did anyone go? Any feedback?

On the Ottawa they do not seem to be concentrated anywhere from what I can see I have see/heard of them being caught from arnprior to rockland but more occasional than regular. The nation river has a larger concentration of them. They can be caught on anything but worm on the bottom seems to be the ...

We have this disucssion before. The concensus was that there were some people (capable of proper identification) on the board who clearly caught channel catfish on the Rideau. That being said there does nto seem to be a thriving population on the Rideau. They still remain a relatively rare occurance.
