Hi Gord
There was a little over 8" near the Yacht Club launch on Sunday afternoon when I went out.
There were a few permanent shacks out and some guy drove a sidekick type suv out on the ice.
I was out about 150 metres.

Thanks for the updates gentlemen. I am new to Fish-Hawk and new to ice fishing as well.. just got into it last year at the end of the season unfortunately. This year I have all of the gear and have been itching to get out there! I live in Kanata so this sounds very convenient for me... any recommen...

I have been out a couple times for an evening fish and have been successful for walleye fishing on a rock edge with a jig head and gulp leeches.
I wish I could get away for another evening out before Christmas but it appears I will have to wait until the weekend now.

I have an ultra light ugly stick. Love it.
I have caught many species on it, including pike! Fun ride when that happens.
A friend caught a laker on one this summer on big Rideau .. that was fun to watch.

I have a Yamaha 150 hp and while it will go slow, the plugs fowl fairly quickly.
Get a kicker for sure.
Currently I have an 8 hp Merc (that I will be selling because shaft is a little short) and I am rebuilding a 9.9 Evinrude long shaft.

One of these days I will make it out to one of these events/gatherings. I live out near Smiths Falls and work in Ottawa so going home to get the boat and coming back in is not ideal. I typically fish (and play) on Big Rideau. I have to plan it so I bring my boat in with me; I just need to measure th...

That is a beauty boat Ed!
I saw you on it at Rideau Ferry on the weekend.

Great photos.
I miss that area. I grew up in that region and did a lot of fishing and had many shore lunches on those sandy beaches.
Thanks for sharing. They brought back many memories.

You can download maps from Angler's Atlas.

Dipsy diver would like do the trick

Thanks! Passed on information.

Anyone know of a reputable marine repair company/person near Rockland/Plantagenet/Hawkesbury?
A friend bought a 5hp Shakespear motor and looking to get it tuned up and checked out prior to using.
Thanks

When I lived in North Bay years ago .. 20ish .. we used to go smelting every year.
Caught and cleaned them the same way you mentioned.
I think the area we used to go is now a fish sanctuary.
My mom and I were talking about them a couple weeks ago and how tasty they were.
