Everything you wanted to know about the Rideau River....

Post by slushpuppy »

Found this website of the Rideau River Biodiversity Project. It has lots of info about the Rideau River, I was especially interested in what plant and animal species are found there.

For example, did you know that the mudpuppy is the rarest species of salamander in Canada and that crayfish is its favourite food?

Or that they found freshwater drum in the river?

Don't forget to click on the extra links on the right-hand side of the pages. These links include lists of species seen as well as photo galleries.

Enjoy!

I've been fishing the rideau for a long time now and still love it. Endless honey holes to fish bass, and you can't forget about the musky
