lunkerbasshunter, thanks for taking a moment to offer a useful suggestion. I've got an annual fishing visit with out-of-town family so I'd like to give them a positive experience. I don't manage to get out more than a couple of times a year so I'm not in the best position to pick the fishing hole. We used to charter a couple of times a year but after a while we came to the conclusion that most charter guys are good fisherman who are too obnoxious to spend an entire day on a boat with them or really nice guys that couldn't fish to save their lives. You never could seem to get someone who was knowledegable AND had people skills so now we do this ourselves every year. We can catch nothing and be rude to each other for free hahahaha. I used to just swing by Muskrat lake at Cobden in years gone by. Hasn't been super productive for me the last few years so I've been sticking to the river. Just needed a change of scenery and was wondering what others were doing. Haven't been to Big Rideau in a long time, might be worth checking out. Has anyone else been to Cobden lately? I hear a rumour that they were stocking. Anyway, again, thanks for the response. Aaron

Tired of fishing the same stretch of Ottawa river all the time. Need to be a big boy and see the world. Think I'll actually TOW the boat somewhere the weekend after next. Anyone got a rec for a good spot with a decent ramp within two hours of the NCR? Thx Aaron
