Rideau River fishing from shore
Hi folks, wondering if there is any good fishing from shore along the Rideau? Me and a friend are going tomorrow and we don't have a boat. We were told about the marina in Kars? and along some bridge???
Any other good places? Mostly looking for bass. We have a car and we aren't afraid to travel to get some good fishing done.
Thanks
Gerry

shore fishing
Some great place's to go shore fishing are Long Island Locks, Kars and The Mill in Manotick . All are producing walleye and pike (great size)

Try Watsons mill in Manotick, or near the Manotick Public school, park your car there and walk down to the river through the foot path. Park a lawn chair and fish.
Or try Long Island Locks outside of Manotick.
If you don't get any bites there, head out to the Kars public boat launch and fish from that. Or you can head back to the city at Blacks Rapids, and if nothing there, Hog's back, and if nothing there Dows lake, and on and on until you hit the Ottawa.
Or you can go far, up to Burritts Rapids and Merrickville, the fishing is excellent in Burritts Rapids.
Really you can go all the way up that river until it becomes Big Rideau lake. lol
It's a huge river, you can fish in any amount of spots. There is plenty of shore access.
I live right near the river, haven't fished it for years though due to my health. Might try to walk down and fish there this week, but probably won't feel well enough.
Good luck!

You can head out to Carlton Place and fish at the dam area. There are some pools and pockets that hold eyes, smallies and large mouth. There are 2 dams near each other in carlton place.
