Believe it or not Jim I've actually done that. I simply thought that getting info from those familiar with the area(not asking for specific fishing spots) rather than relying on self-serving cottage websites would be helpful. As a matter of fact I received two private messages, one suggesting that members from the area in question probably hadn't logged on yet but when they do they'll provide some assistance, the other saying there isn't much walleye fishing in that area. At any rate no further assistance required. Adios Mike

Okay thanks for all of the great info, very helpful

Thanks guys. Fish Farmer, sorry for your loss of, cherish the memories. Mike

Hello again. I hope you guys don't mind another question. Doing a bit of research, I'm thinking about planning a trip to either Crotch or Big Gull. Hoping to target walleye, bass and pike and would really like crappie as well. I'll be towing a boat. Not looking for any activities other than fishing. For those of you with experience on these two lakes, do you prefer one over the other? Do you have a preference as to cottages, such as Tumblehome, Land O Lakes, Kirks, etc.? Thanks again Mike

Anyone else with cottage rental suggestions? What about RV sites? Thanks very much! Mike

Thanks guys. Besides the Rideau would you have any suggestions for the area between there and Algonquin provincial park? Doesn't have to be the middle of nowhere, mainly want to avoid the pleasure boat crowds that I assume are on lakes like Rice. I'll check that link Mike

Hi! First post here, been a lurker for awhile. My name is Mike, I live in Cape May New Jersey. Before I retired I lived in Pittsburgh which is 400 miles west of here and when fishing in the wonderful province of Ontario did so near to and also north of North Bay. I'd like to impose on you folks for some advice as to where would be a good choice both for fishing and for a cottage rental in the Rideau area. I C&R northern and bass and occasionally keep walleye, though when I want to eat fish I usually opt for panfish. In looking about I haven't seen any areas in Rideau that appear to have walleye but of course plenty seem to have pike and bass. Anyway any suggestions as to bodies of water (not looking for specific spots) and cottage rentals would really be appreciated. Quite a few Canadians vacation here in Cape May County and if any of you happen to number yourselves in the group I'd be happy to hook you up with saltwater fishing here. Thanks very much for any info and thanks very much for putting up with us traveling north, most I hope are respectful of your resources. Mike
