Visiting Ottawa Area, Fishing wanted... Needed. Help Please!
HI,
I am traveling to the Ottawa area next week and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some Muskie, Carp, Bass, Chain Pickeral, and whatever other species that I haven't seen out west here. I will have my fly rods only due to limited packing space. I have heard that a good place to start would be on the Rideau River right in Ottawa. As well wondering if there is any good camping within an hours drive of the city as I will get a free night to enjoy the surrounding area. I appreciate any help you could supply. Take care.

For camping check out Fiztroy Provincial Park. Less than an hour from Ottawa.

Actually they're considered to be a species at risk and are only found in few places in Ontario.taylor wrote: ON has plenty of grass pickeral. You don't have to leave the province to fish for chainsides.
