Ottawa and Rideau River Muskie
Hey Guys,
This is only my second post as usually i don't catch anything worth talking about. This year has been a good one for me, as targeting muskie can be long hours with nothing to show. My luck has finally turned for the best as my muskie count is up to three. My first muskie came out of the Ottawa River out of Wendover, Ont and measured roughly 41 inches caught on a oversized jerkbait.
My second fish came out of the Rideau River close to Kemptville throwing a black/orange bulldawg in 10 ft of water. This fish was a heavy and thick fish which I will never forget as it was a day of bass fishing that got slow so I decided to throw out some big baits in hopes to seeing a giant muskie. Unfortunately with the excitement i totally forgot to measure it. Hope everyone else is having some luck chasing these giants.

Nice muskies! Glad to hear your luck is on the upswing.
Re: Ottawa and Rideau River Muskie
Wow you are on a roll Congratulations on your successes! Tell me are you hooked on musky fishing now? lol
The lake where I bought my summer home does not have musky. I miss fishing them. I am always so happy to see our local waters produce such beauties of fish.
