Muskie Lake???

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.

Muskie Lake???

Post by Grinder »

Hi All, This is my first post and I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me where the closest "Musky" lake is in relation to Ottawa. I fish both the Ottawa and Rideau rivers but I'm interested in trying out a local lake.

Closest are Stucco and Moira lakes. Unless you cross into Quebec.
Catch and release them all

Stoco Lake, in Tweed has Muskies. I can't reason with trailering a boat that far to beat the water to a froth when the Ottawa, Rideau and St Lawrence River(s) have the potential of a huge fish. If it's lakes you want to fish and not rivers.....try the Kawartha chain, not including Rice Lake.

Thanks Guys.

My family and I rent a cottage every summer and now that I fish for musky I want to rent on a good musky lake. I would be interested in a quebec lake as we have always rented in quebec.
I've seen a cottage on Donaldson Lake and apparently there are muskies there but it looks like a pretty small body of water and I'm not sure what the fishing would be like.

I live ten minutes from Stoco and 30 seconds from Moira and fish them about three to four times weekly.
Fish Muskie only so I know the spots, etc.
If you need advice on Stoco, Moira or nearby, pm or e-mail me.
