Looking Water Level Update - Ottawa River

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.

Looking Water Level Update - Ottawa River

Post by TBM »

I'd like some advice from the experienced folks here if the Ottawa River is still below its summer water level. Earlier this fishing season there was chatter about low water levels on the Ottawa. I'd like to launch out of Wendover this weekend and fishing that area and would perfer to not have any surprises on the water for my outboard's lower unit if you know what I mean. Thanks.

Launched there last Sunday no problems. Water IS low though - watch the back bays.

I was hoping with all this rain it would have increased water levels... I guess you could look at it the other way, and wonder if we hadn't had all this rain, water levels would be insanely low...

Lakes and rivers need a week straight of rain or more to reach the norms now. It's not looking good at all :x
