Joeytier Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Sometimes I like living next to the Ottawa river...actually scratch that I always love living next to the Oft riv. Had a couple hours free Friday evening so after a quick atv ride to the local creek to empty my minnow trap. I hit a local shore spot. I can almost always depend on a handful of small keepers from this spot so I was super surprised to lay into this 23" fatty. Normally I don't keep em this big but she made for an excellent breakfast The minnow hole And I spent the last two days at my girlfriends familys hunt camp 60 + km's into one of the local ZEC's. saturday was spent cutting trails and laying gravel on the atv's but we snuck out early this morning to a lake trout lake known for big numbers of smaller fish. It didnt disappoint and in short order we had a stringer full of these tasty little guys. What they lack in size they make up for in flavour we took them on gangtroll/williams rigs pulled behind bells and dipsys. The wheels. Had to use the winch to pull the rickety old tank of a boat out of the water Many more plans for this area Edited July 7, 2014 by Joeytier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeytier Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yeah! Very different in that there's WAY more hunters, and a lot less fisherman . I didn't hear or see a single other soul all weekend and it's a madhouse during moose season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the ZEC's! I do try to avoid them with the ATV during moose season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
