Heading out solo tomorrow and launching at eco lands park. Never fished there by boat so if I go towards Manotick is there any good spots for pike and musky? Not looking for honey holes just looking to maximize my time on the water!! Thanks

Bumped into two guys who weer trolling from the dam back down towards Manotick and back; They'd caught a number of Pike and Musky in the early evenings over the past two weeks.

any luck?
we were out last night trolling and casting into the shallows and bringing it back into the deep and only managed a few small pike and a few bass.. launched out of Kars..

Yup, lots of slimers in that stretch. Look out for waterskiiers too, they're even slimier.

good post, I am wondering the same thing

I fished it for the first time Monday solo, after a buddy told me about it, I figured I'd check it out

caught a 4lb smallie on a spook, other then that, not much action...lost 1 on a swimbait
oh and I fell into the water taking the boat out

a total of 3 hours fishing

I did manage to get out but I missed the window as I got there a lot later then I wanted to..... But on the bright side I ran into someone that was just coming back in and he caught 3 musky and showed me the pictures!!! Gonna try and head back out tomorrow again but a lot earlier!!!

that's awesome! did he mention which area roughly he caught them in?

He said he was hitting weed beds but never got further then the new bridge they are building

I never made it out but picking a buddy in the am and should be on the water by 9:30am How did you make out?

I got there, started trolling for musky, saw an area that looked promising for bass, and that's all she wrote

pulled 2 smallies out of there, and then stuck to bass...but that's all I got

2 smallies, about 2.5-3 each...it's insane how quick time flies when you're having fun

let me know how you do tomorrow, good luck!
