Arnprior catfish

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Arnprior catfish

Post by JimW »

A friend and I are heading out to fish the Ottawa out of Arnprior for some cats during the day this weekend. Anyone been out lately? Any suggestions for depths, are they still shallow or moved deeper? Presentations?

Will post report after.

Use worm and let it stay in bottom. We caught a 36 inch one under the dam 2 years ago. When I saw the face of the big fish, I understood why people call it "Cat" fish.
