Ottawa Shore Fishing
Posted: Thu Aug 24, 2017 2:38 pm
Hello all,
Not trying to ask straight up for all of your secret spots... but hoping for some guidance. I am (unfortunately) a shore fisherman roaming around Ottawa. I have had reasonably good success at Dow's lake/canal but keep coming up dry on the Ottawa river and Rideau river. I have tried all different baits but have yet to catch much more than puny rock bass. I know there are monsters in there, I just don't know how accessible they are from shore at this point... Any tips on spots (accessible by bike), baits, and/or seasonal fish tendencies would be much appreciated! I am also open to teaming up with a more savvy Ottawa shore fisherman if that is something that someone is interested in. Thanks!
