Where do you guys think the best place to shore fish on opening day is?
Will travel if necessary. Can't make it to the camp this spring.

That sounds tempting crazyhook. I'll get back to you on that. I've got a car. I'm always up to trying somewhere new though. Ever fished off the islands on the Champlain bridge?

Don`t forget to check out the mouth of the Jock River where it dumps in to the Rideau. You can find it off of Hwy. 16 just before the Manotick cut-off. This area holds a lot of snags but the snags hold fish so use something that floats and work it in slow stopping to let it rise and then reel in more. This area holds walleye and some other species.... some of the walleye I've seen come out of there were really nice.
Enjoy.

The best place is in Manotic by the old mill. It may be a busy place this weekend but we always got some huge walleyes every opening weekend there.

I'm pretty sure our division does not open until next weekend.. please correct me if i'm wrong, don't want spawning walleyes to get taken now.
