fishindevil Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) Well we got to the ottawa river around 5am sat morning and the weather conditions were amazing,so off i went to catch some walleyes,and i did,most were all around the 15-20 inch range,and were very hard to catch,as there was some kind of mayfly hatch going on and the fishing had been very slow for the last week,i managed to catch most of my fish running a worm harness setup,on a 3-way rig,just trolling the drop-offs,and they were really lite biting and i lost alot of fish till i put on a stinger hook,once i had them figured out i managed to do pretty well,and even nailed a few nice sized pike,with the biggest around maybe 9lbs,its kinda tough taking pics by yourself,so i did the best i could,i also took some pics of the walleyes in my livewell,so the rest of thew weekend went pretty much the same with my count of about 30 walleyes and kept enough for a great fish-fry,and man are they tasty....so enjoy the scenery sorry everyone i tried to get my pics up but i have forgotten and i will try again,it ruined my post.....

Badger Shark Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 I gotta say its nice to have the Ottawa right in my backyard. I love fishing on it. My favorite spot is Constance bay, there is everything in there this time of year before the water heats up. Big pike, musky, smallies, largies, eyes and big cats, and of course annoying panfish! Anywhere on the river you can catch fish. Man thats a long haul to drive. And I dont see your pics either, but I sympathize as I am still trying to learn the whole upload deal.

Mike the Pike Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Well Shawn I was wondering where you have been.Good to hear you did very well but please hurry up and get us those PICS Hurry up and break that boat in WTG we are waitingggggggggg FD MTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted May 25, 2007 Report Share Posted May 25, 2007 Nice report! It's funny you mentioned the mayflies, 'cause every fish I cleaned last weekend was stuffed full of the nymphs. That's bizarre to me as the hex hatch doesn't normally occur 'till mid to late June up there. And it's not like we've had an overly warm or early spring.... Just goes to show that nature is unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
