LOL I gotta check out these rapids! They sound worse than the Ottawa river!!

yeah i think im gonna take heed to everyones advice and stick to the upper french for my first trip. Musky is on our MINDS!! any experienced advice would be greatly appreciated.. p.s. my curiosity has been peaked with these rapids, im looking forward to checking em out some time in the future....maybe a kayak fishing trip is in order in the near future??!!

Awesome, I believe that Musky will be our primary target. Any tips and suggestions on how to target the Musky in the French??

Are the waters of the upper French suitable to do some trolling? or are there lots of weeds and shallow rocks to get in your way. I prefer trolling when visiting new bodies of water in an attempt to cover as much water as possible. When does Musky come into season up there??

DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!! The world we live in is chalk full of morons like this, not much you can do about it, let em learn the hard way. or in his case the PAINFULL way. LOL

nice .pdf will put it to use!!

ncie breakdown, would like to see something like that on some other species

i know the area, it might be worth a try, i'll let you know what happens.

thats as good a plan as any CCM, seems like its been working for you too! time to start chumming the water with corn and casting for those carp!LOL

i was under the impression that there is NO fishing allowed in or around the marinas. I gotta say...i was walking by the marina behind snug harbour and say a few bass lurking around the rocks within the marina. also saw bullheads and pike (i know strange) schooled together near the surface sunning themselves.

Sounds like a plan, there are some intriguing spots all along the shore in the port credit area, lots of LONG piers to fish from etc. I dont plan on letting up, persistance usually pays in this sport. btw... anyone ever fish the Adamson Estate just east of port credit?? i've fished there quite a few times with no success. I've seen lots of carp (tonnes actually) last thursday i must have seen about 25-30 of em cruising up close to shore. some must have been over 30lbs EASY! im not too interested in catching carp, more after pike, trout, walleye

why dont they just get with the times and switch to DVD or eveb Blue Ray?? lol

worms eh? i guess thats worth a shot, resort back to the oldschool techniques. but you have to admit, the fishing is SLOW down there, if the guys bait fishing have to put alarms on the tips of there rods to tip em off of any action, its gotta be slow. regardless, i am determined to land something out of that lake, and if you say worms are the trick, then worms it is. and trust me, the minute i do land ANYTHING i will post a report. hhahah

I've been fishing from shore all over lake O in the west end (port credit area) and have yet to even get a bite!! I figure my perserverance should pay off, but honestly, WHO DOESNT GET SKUNKED FISHING FROM SHORE IN LAKE O??!! the only fish I ever see there are dead. just an observation, anyone else have greater success than me?

does anyone know where I can find maps of the upper french, online? Goin up in a few weeks.

WOW! Thanks for all the info guys, i will put it to good use. I must say that the Bad River and delta have sparked my curiosity BIG TIME! **i would assume that the guy renting us the boats will give us substantial instruction as to traversing the rapids, how bad can it be??! Thanks again..

can't be as bad as the Moon or the Massasauga p.p. but thanks!

Hello All, I've decided to go on a 4 day fishing trip to the French River, July 6th weekend. For the past few years I've hit the Moon River (loved it), but would like a change of scenary; after some reasearch the French seems like the way to go. To be honest I am fairly unfamiliar with this water and need help with two things... 1. Which end of the French River is better, upper or lower? I'm not to concerened about driving distance between the two, just want to go where the fish are MOST active! 2. We want to rent a cabin, nothing too fancy, as we are travelling on a budget. Where is a good affordable camp with decent boats available for rent. For the most part we will be targeting pike, bass, and walleye. I dont believe the Musky season is open yet (is this a correct assumption??) Thanks for sharing the wealth of knowledge guys, truly appreciated. and yes...i will provide a full report upon my return.

seems to me like the French is prolly a better pick, do any of u have suggestions as to where I could stay on the French (with boat rentals) Im going somewhere on the 6th of July, nothing planned yet, French river seems like as good a place as any

love the backdrop of that classy shot! hahaha

Thanks for all the information guys, I'll get back to you when i buy one!

I spent an entire week up at restoule and have to agree, the fishing there is nearly non existant! we hooked into a few walleye adn bass but for the most part it was REALLY slow! There is another lake in the park, i can remember what it was called but its on the park property and ther is a boat launch there as well. Its a nicer lake with lots of promising spots, but again, could never find much more than small bass and the occasional walleye under 2lbs. Good luck to ya, let us know how it goes regardless. BTW... I've headed up to Halfway lake P.P. (just north of sudbury near Cartier) and the fishing there was phenomenol for MONSTER pike, and healthy populations of lake trout. Very nice park, great beach, and clean waters

Thanks Tony!

WOW! Cabela's has some good prices!! if the shipping and exchange are included in that price than its sold!

are these american prices??
