Nation River ice

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.

I fished nation river in the summer at cassleman off exit 66 of 417 . Lot's of pike and walleye but water looks quite poluted. I fished belowed the dam but heard there 's also fish below the railway bridge near the boat launch. Are we talking the same place? if so, which part of the river do you guys fish?

Hey Zick,

We're up river from you! It's where the Nation meets the Castor river.

Never fished there but being so close now will be there shortly.

I will check it out during Christmas. Ice fishing is a better way to spend the holiday than boxing day shopping, plus I 've learned that there is no good stuff in boxing day sale.

my plan is to get minnow in petrie first.

one last question, could somebody tell me how to get there? ( where nation meets castor )

HI zick

IF you come frome ottawa on the 417, you go out on the caselman ,after you turn on you left ,you will past over the 417 , go strait , after i think you turn left again at the restaurent just before the church,,,,,,,after you will do about 2 or 3 km and chek on your wright you will see some fisherman on ice you will past under the 417,,,,,,,


whene you come frome ottawa ,,just a bit before you get to caselman
you will past over the nation river chek on you right you can see where
the castor and the nation river join,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


good luck......i will be there today at 2 if the ice is still ok (gray nissan X)
