I have just moved back to the Ottawa area after a 15 year absence. Can
anyone recommend some local spots for bass/crappie fly fishing? I know the Jock River used to be good but it looks pretty built up now. Recommended flies would also be appreciated. |

I know the Jock River used to be good but it looks pretty built up now. Recommended flies would also be appreciated. Weed growth may have changed your favourite crappie spots e.g. at Merrickville, and accessible bass spots e.g. near Billings Bridge. But you will find quite good FF for bass in theOttawa River, anywhere you can wade and cast into or over safe bass holes 3 ft. deep and deeper. I fishOttawaR. bass with only three flies, a cork bug (as small as possible), a big (size 4) Muddler Minnow and a flashy streamer e.g. Mickey Finn. Some FF swear by leech flies. Don P Carlsbad Springs Don, Thanks for the info. I've been out on the Rideau at several locations and had some good success with the panfish. More importantly I'm getting my casting out to 40 ft in preparation for bass season. I've arranged to meet up with the OFS on the Ottawa to get some guidance in that direction. I've also heard some rumors about possible trout locations near Calabogie. Problem is there's a million lakes up there. You heard of anywhere? R |
