RJnBirdees Annual Panfish Derby- Feb 14th

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

This looks like fun... Will there be a kid friendly setup? Pre drilled holes and access to some gear I have some rod and lures but would like To know if there will be some heater and shelter.

I am planning on heading up this year for this and if so I can drill some holes for your kid! Just point me where you would want them. :D

There won't be a formal spot for folks to sit and fish in a shelter though by then you can use your car... :lol: Someone is always willing to drill a few holes for folks but if you're stuck by all means ask someone at registration for a hand.

Directions? It's on Lower Rideau Lake. Easiest access point will be Conservation Launch by Rideau Ferry. Head to the left off end of ramp and you'll see a city of shacks. There will be signs, just follow em!

Thanks all!

I'm in for sure. It's a super fun derby. Just follow the signs from Rideau Ferry Rd.

Jig Head said he's going for a 3rd title in a row this year :lol:

If hockey don't get in the way I'll be out with the kids! This maybe just what I need to purchase a new Hub style shelter...of course for when the kids come.

Haha using the kids as an excuse to get new fishing toys? That's how it's done!

Rob, I am interested and could probably get a few guys to come along.

I have never been on Lower Rideau, neither open water nor hard water.

I am looking at "Google Maps" in the area of Rideau Ferry, but I do not see any launch ramps. Can you please be a bit more specific, and/or post a map as to how to find you?

THANKS!

Doug

Hi Doug

It is easier if you switch to satellite. The following link will take you to Rideau Ferry. https://www.google.ca/maps/@44.8521984, ... !1e3?hl=en
Turn on Yacht Club Road, follow to Rideau Valley Conservation Authority boat launch on your right. Will likely be a bunch of vehicles there to indicate location.
