Your Ontario license will allow you fish either side of the Ottawa River.
Anglers may fish in the following waters with either an Ontario Resident Fishing Licence or a Quebec Resident Fishing Licence.
• Clarice Lake (48°20’N., 79°32’W.).
• Labyrinth Lake (48°14’N., 79°31’W.).
• Raven Lake (48°03’N., 79°33’W.).
• Lake Timiskaming (47°20’N., 79°30’W.).
• Ottawa River (45°34’N., 74°23’W.).
• Lake St. Francis (45°08’N., 74°25’W.) and the waters of the
St. Lawrence River between the dam at the Robert H. Saunders Generating Station and the Ontario-Quebec boundary.
Have fun

No problem, also if ur looking for a free launch, go right down Blair rd(north) right to the end of the road, this will be right up to the parkway, just before it ends there is road to the left, this will lead you to the launch. It's gravel not paved so its tricky finding a good lane to place ur boat in the water.

This is a great spot to launch. I grew up in that area of Rothwell Heights.
Duck Island has incredible weed beds right out front. You can also cruise up to the "falls" where the Rideau dumps into the Ottawa. This is a fantastic walleye spot.....I'll keep mum but another type of coveted fish is there also
Its sandy and rocky in that area. Small mouth, walleye and musky abound and my Dad, brother and I spent many evenings there when we were kids.
Good luck!
