Hi all, The week of Oct. 30th I plan to be in Ottawa and would like to try and get out a few evenings and try for some muskie on the Rideau. I've never fished for muskie in my life so if anyone would mind sharing a little how and where, I'd really appreciate it. I'm just looking for some tips that might give me a bit of a chance to have some fun and get a couple good pictures.  Cheers! Gary |

Hey Gary, I can tell you that they were trolling and cast suicks for them near the Becketts Boat Yard. That's pretty much I can tell you for muskie. I know that Jeremy has fished for them before, he would be able to help you out with that question. Good luck and let us know how you make out. Pete  |

Hey Gary, Send me a PM I would be glad to help you. I guided on this piece of water when I was 15yrs old for Pike, Muskie and Walleye at that time Bass were just a pain trash fish  how times change? I'll share anything that would help you in your quest, This fall has been slow for me, I have only caught about 20 or so on the fly rod with the largest just over 25lbs. Just have not had the time i would like on the water with hunting now started. Till then, Jeremy |

20 muskie on the fly.....wow great work Jeremy! I was hoping to fish the draining of the canal, with the muskie flies you gave me, but when I went there it was already dried up  I did catch my first muskie though!! Below the dam on the mississippi river at galetta. It was just a baby(20-22 inches) but it gave a good fight and jumped! It was much fatter and rounder than any pike I've ever caught with no blemishes. It was quite lucky, and I caught it on a size 1 olive wooly bugger. |
