How was the ice when you went out and any luck?

I think your mistaken. Lake clear is not connected to the bonnechere river. That being said I've always had luck for bass fishing off of any of the many islands in the lake especially the largest one in the center that has a house built on it.

I've heard the same thing about the island having a deep spot.

Also this is anot interesting read. Although it doesn't give a lot of specifics it shows that some fish must winter in the canal.

Launched at Manotick and fished up to Kars. managed to pull in three small pike around 20 inches and a few OOS bass all released. The two highlights of the trip were my first m...

Finally got out to try for some pike this year. Just managed to get out for an hour and a half so I had to leave the kayaks behind. Decided to try the creek from both bridges for the first time. Managed to land 3 hammer handle pike and 2 largemouth that were released in the water. They were all at t...

Went out yesterday from 2-630 with two buddies. Very slow dayanged to land two small perch and one small eye and missed another small one on the ice. Got afew other light taps but nothing crazy. Also caught them all on set lines which is normally not the case.

I'm a recent graduate from Carleton myself and I've fished the river under the otrain bridge with some success for them over the years. It takes some time but they are there

There was a foot of ice when I was out but that's has probably went down since I was out. I was fishing in 11 feet of water

Managed to get out yesterday from 3-530 for the first time at Shirley's this year. Had lots of light hits and managed to land 5 small pickerel one being just big enough to keep. I also lost a really nice one on the edge of the ice just being carless.

Finally managed to get out on the ice this year yesterday. Only managed 2.5 hrs so I hit up Constance lake. Got afew perch to fry up and missed one pike. Nothing great. It always better to be out then at home. Ice was about 8-9.

Solid report and always nice to get those bonus eyes
