No big Walleye in the rideau?

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.

No big Walleye in the rideau?

Post by CNs »

Someone once said that there are no big walleyes in the Rideau.


I beg to differ.

Image

Caught it on an ultra light rig with a 1/4 ounce wiht jig head and whit and pink yum 3" twister tail


Also caught a 12 lb muskie on same set up but no picture it was OOS.

Not a bad day

Nice walleye, I have caught many of those trolling spinner baits for muskie.
I have never targeted them specifically ,but they are there.

Over the years I've seen several walleye in the 6-9 pound range (well, at least 8 or 9) caught in the shallow pads on bass jigs- mainly in the area of the Provincial Park.

Lots of excitement in less than two feet of water! :shock:

Norm ~ When you say rideau are you talking about the ottawa end? Im down on the kingston end. The walleye only travel from lake ontario to the first lock at kingston mills.
