Post by **AverageAngler** » Tue Jul 06, 2004 2:33 am

Hey All,
It seems I am havin bad luck at the Manotic Mill. I was looking for some sweet holes in the Ottawa area? Any suggestions on some holes for shore fishing? Any species will do!
Cheers

Hey there AA, having been a shore fisherman in Ottawa for many years there are a couple spots that should be mentioned....All along carelton U there are some real nice smallies and walleye ....bronson bridge at the right time is a good bet as well. I see you are up around b-haven.... you can always try your luck at the jock just the other side of the S-bends on greenbank.

Hope this helps

Cheers

I fish the jock at greenbank quite a bit and its a great spot. I've caught a few smallmouth there using plastics. Also Try using live minnows in the rapids for muskie, I caught one last year doing this.

I have fished the Jock many many times...its the only place I have ever seen anyone catch Walleye top water! I havent fished any of the canal...YET, but I will! Hows the fishing on The Ottawa River by the rifle range? Any clue?

AA - You must be talking about Shirley's Bay. I've caught a couple of smallies a couple of buckmouths and a 38" Gar there so far this summer in just a couple of outings.

Let me know if you want to head out there some time, I'm like 5 minutes away from there.
