Rideau Canal - Ottawa

[zippyFX]

Thanks for the link.

I hit the canal proper for the first time ever last weekend. I was looking for carp but that was not working out for me. I managed to land a smallmouth on a worm and bobber ~1.5 lbs and a large mouth on upper water column crank that came in at about 2 pounds. This time of year the weeds are high and going deep will get you nothing but grief. I was surprised at my quick success there gien I was only there for about 90 minutes.

The kids and I also hit Dows lake last weekend and they were catching pumpkinseed/bluegill/perch on demand. Nice places to picnic and run around, with trees to climb between bites.

I have done some research and think I have a couple of areas that should have Muskies
