Too bad I'll be out of town that weekend :cry: - canoe camping. :D Hope there's more of these outings this summer! I'm just a mediocre fisherman but isn't the stretch of Ott R along the River Parkway any good? Always wanted to try but never tried. Some area is so shallow in the middle that the paddl...

Thanks Joco and Jigs for the tips. I'll start shopping around locally for those lights.

These fishing yaks look so tempting. Even if I find room in the garage for one, it would not be fair to my canoe. Actually, I have been looking for a decent portable one for kayak/canoe and didn't find one yet. Can someone please post their navigation light setup? Don't want this to happen.. http://...

Got a trailing hook in my hand when trying to unhook a pike right in the water off my canoe last weekend. It wasn't a very big one so I didn't expect him to jump that much when I try to unhook bare handed. I guess it is always better to hold the fish while unhooking. I'm bringing my rubber glove nex...

Me too! Let's see.. scary water for canoe this season.... 1 - Spring time on the Ottawa R. Getting lots of hits on my fish finder but the wave was too strong on a windy day. Ended up have to portage 1/2 km back to the car. 2 - Calabogie L. How bad can it be on a mid size lake? Not on a windy day! Fi...

Joco, Glad you brought up the subject. I love canoe fishing. The fish felt bigger from a canoe. Also, I find that if you live in the city, storing a big boat can be a hassle. Although a canoe can access places a motorboat can't, there are also plenty of water bodies a canoe can not safely access. Ta...

Iceman.... Actually I use an electric trolling motor because I'm a weak paddler. More time fishing, less time paddling. It is especially useful since I do a lot of solo and the drifter is not a solo canoe. I chose this instead of a square end because I occasionally go interior camping where motors a...

Joco, Sorry.. which magazine has the canoe/kayak fishing special edition? I have been decking out my canoe to fish and I'm always looking for some fresh ideas. Thanks! I got one of those wide width canoe meant for wildlife photography (Scott Drifter). So far, it is stable enough to stand on without ...

Rich, Which pic are you refering to? I don't see one that you posted recently. Was your trout caught this year or ages ago. :) If there are really lakers in there, all those perches and rock basses should fatten them up. FL, The road was pretty bad. I was desperate enough to take a few scratches on ...

I went to Lake Wabun this morning. Caught lots of rock bass and perch but no Lake Trout. Is there really Lake Trout in there? Some folks were camping there and they also didn't catch any. One gentleman said he caught trout last year and the year before but not this year. Anybody actually caught trou...

Wow.. you are the eye tracker! Tried same lake from 6-8pm and all I can manage was 2 dinkie little pikes. Spent most of the time trolling with spoons and spinner bait. I guess I should have brought my crankbaits. I tried the river inlet but was catching bass so I tried vertical jig in the deeper par...

Thanks for all the responses. I missed that section in the proposed change in regulation. Thanks for pointing this out. I am not very good at reading the fine prints. It's too bad that the eel is not getting as much attention as the musky or the trout. I guess even in the world of fishing, it's an d...

Hi! I am curious to know if anyone specificly target eels on the Ottawa River (around Ottawa area)? All the dams probably didn't help to welcome them back but are they an "endangered" fish? I remember seeing the American Eel on the MNR's fish identification before. This year's print doesn'...
