Ottawa Kayaking 2015 - Let's Organize

Post by OutdoorActionOntario »

Calling all Ottawa and East Ontario Kayak Angling enthusiasts!!!

The soft-water season is almost upon us. Soon enough we will be paddling away and enjoying our days in the amazing waters we have across the region. We are incredibly blessed with an abundance of water to get out on to enjoy. The scenery, wildlife and fishing are second to none, and many of us would testify to the incredible bounties of our region.

This season, I'm looking for people who want a chance to share their outdoor stories, and kayaking adventures in particular. If you are passionate about the outdoors, I want to hear from you.

If you're looking for more information, send me a PM and we will go from there. This might be your chance to get involved in the outdoors industry in a way you might never have thought about.

More details coming soon. Also, don't forget to keep sharing on Fish-Hawk as well, since that's kinda the whole point of being here!

Cheers!

My buddy will want to take part for sure, we're in touring kayaks, but we fish out of 'em. I'll send him this thread.

Really, all Paddlers are welcome - I don't discriminate against my Canoe friends... I'm an equal opportunity type person.

I want to hear from people who get out on the water to explore and in the process discover their true passions in life... or re-ignite old ones.

Going back to the basics on this stuff - it's all about a love for being out on the water. I think we ALL share that!

Does "all paddlers" include float tubers? Technically we paddle with our feet ;)

I'd like to know more about what's on your mind. E-mail me.

I "almost" (due to icy waterways still) paddle a 2015 Coosa HD.

I am going to include Float Tubers just because I want to see you out bobbing around in the Ottawa River...

I want to get something organized out on the water in late June or early July, not too sure what the format will be, this will depend on interest. Keep PM'ing me, I have already heard from numerous people. Once you contact me I will send you my private contact details and we will make arrangements for you to be included in future business...

Cheers

Kingston here, are you saying Ottawa or Eastern On. It sounds like you only mean Ottawa area

OK, sorry for the delay I have been busy filming and writing and getting on the water in my spare time from work, so things have been very busy.

Since this was originally posted I have heard from a few people over time. Please, if you are interested in getting together respond to this posting and I will start the legwork on logistics.

We will be launching out of Ottawa, most likely Blair Road launch and we would be fishing both sides of the Ottawa in and around the islands as well (but other areas are possible and I'm open to suggestions.)

I really think it would be best to wait until Bass season is open so as to give us some options. What do you guys think?

this would put us into the later part of June or early July. If we have a lot of interest, we will make this a big deal (i.e. get some food involved, make it a bit of a festivity.) But this will all depend on numbers. If we have more then 20 kayak anglers I think we make it into a social event as well as the fishing...

Thanks
