Shore-fishing (boatless!) sites in the Ottawa Valley?

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.

Shore-fishing (boatless!) sites in the Ottawa Valley?

Post by pragma »

Hi everyone,

Can anyone propose some good sites for shore-fishing within 45 minutes or so of Ottawa proper?

Here's a gratuitous pic of a fish we caught last week where the "Crick Brule" meets the Abitibi near Cochrane ON: <img src=http://www.vandewolfshaar.com/albums/co ... .sized.jpg>

The Crick is about 80 feet wide at this point. I believe the fish is a northern pike.

Thanks,
Paul

Now that's getting close to my end of the world. I'm from Smooth Rock Falls.
When hell freezes over, I'll be there icefishing!!!

I certainly hope that's a pike, or you're in for some flaming.

That's a beautiful looking spot. Wish I could help you with shore spots, but I'm nowhere near your area but I'm sure someone can help.

Just about any strech of the Madawaska or Mississippi Rivers you can get access to would be my choices...
There are few problems in life which can not be solved with a well-placed, high-explosive projectile.
