Ottawa River March 2012

Recommended Posts

Anything over +20 is nice weather...but +20 in March is something unique.

 

Me and Pal walked the banks of the Ottawa River near Mattawa for over a km on Sunday. For whatever reason, be it low water volumes or dam control, the river's banks were exposed by an additional 6 feet. The shoreline was unforested and free for us to explore...although some places were steep and therefore we trudged through the thick forest.

 

Look for rocks...check

Find some lures...check

Take some good photos...check

Enjoy the day...double check

Catch fish...nope glare.gif

5th picture down is that cabin on the Quebec side? Did U cross train tracks to cast that area?

 

 

uh oh, I have to watch my backgrounds around you laugh.gif

 

Yup, that's the one. It's a good place to walk the tracks in the summer, especially now that OVR is not running.

That's my great uncles place! Great area. I've run into a few bears over the years along those tracks. Some nice fishing spots around that area! Very jealous!

 

Enjoy
