umKthxbye Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) I was looking over the regulation for zone 20 for walleye and it says Open season from Jan 1 to March 1 & 1st Sat in may to dec 31. In the exceptions it says the St-Lawrence River has no size limits around the sections listed but does that mean i can only fish it during the dates listed or when ever i want? I live in Kingston and since the ice is virtually all gone id like some good fish to fish for as soon as possible. Thanks. Edited March 23, 2011 by umKthxbye
beginner Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 if I am right you can only fish it during the open season.. not too sure yet
BillM Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 If there are no date exceptions, you need to adhere to the original ones posted (ie the 1st Sat of May)
umKthxbye Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 Ok. Guess ill have to wait till May to fish anything fun around my area
johnnyb Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 I don't believe size limits have anything to do with date limits....you have to follow the posted season dates.
umKthxbye Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 Ok, so trout, cat fish are open so i guess i can try and fish for that. Ive never cought a trout. Anyone from Kingston know any spots that the ice is gone and i can shore fish for trout? Is Kingston Mills area, ice free yet? I don't have a car and need to rely on busing, so i don't want to go there and find out its still ice. Any trout tips are welcomed too.
superdad Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 It's gonna be tough to shore fish sans vehicle. I just drove by Collins Bay and it has ice from the boat launch out to the mouth, inside of that it's open water. Other places would be out on highway 133 at the 'floating bridge' or at the almost extinct creek at the old Celanese/Kosa plant (it's closed) at the corner of Jim Snow Blvd and #133. Casting off the Millhaven ferry dock or at the L&A Generating station further out #133. You can't fish off the causeway (all kinds of signs) and I don't know if you can access the dock behind the PUC on King St. Lotsa Luck David aka Superdad Kingston
umKthxbye Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks. I have no idea what causeway is . I'm heading down to Ottawa Friday night and hope to fish the rideau river saturday morning. A buddy of mine says there isn't any ice on it anymore. Hopefully he is right, since all he said was the usual place had no ice since the current is too fast.
superdad Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 The causeway connects the city to the east side of the Cataraqui River (RMC /Fort Henry side) I thought you lived in Kingston?? You can always take a rod and reel and fish down in the Confederation Basin docks, pike, perch are there. David aka Superdad
Abberz Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 There is still safe ice to fish north of Kingston to the Ottawa Valley. Cheers, Chris
umKthxbye Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Posted March 24, 2011 I do live in Kingston but only moved here November so i don't know the city at all yet. Maybe next year ill do some ice fishing but for now ill wait for the water.
