276.0. "? Fishing in Ottawa Canada" by ECADSR::BIRO () Wed Mar 24 1993 13:13

    I might get a chance to be in Ottawa, Canada
    at the end of April.
    
    Now for the $64,000 question.
    
    How would I go about finding about fishing in Canada
    for a Yankie for the USA.
    
    thanks john

276.1Bootleggers welcome!TRCOA::WITTGENWed Mar 24 1993 15:4010
    As a "YANKEE" in Toronto, I would surmise that your fishing would
    relate to the types of fish in season.  It's too early for bass, but
    trout, probably pike and pickerel (walleye) are probably available.
    
    There are some guys in the conference from the Ottawa valley area
    that would probably be willing to help, especially if you bring some
    duty free refreshments across the border.
    
     
    
276.2Local lakes here in the South are still solidSPARKL::JOHNHCWed Mar 24 1993 17:054
    Otawa? April? You're going to be ice fishing if you're fishing at all,
    I'd bet.

276.3hard water where's the greenhouse effect !!!!ECADSR::BIROThu Mar 25 1993 08:147
    yea with this winter I would think it might still be hard water
    but if you folks are out there this yankie has relatives who were rum
    runners..  It is the end of Apr  28-the 30th and if fishing was open
    I could stay the weekend.

    I would think that with your trip being the end of April,
    you might be able to find some decent pickerel fishin, they spawn
    in/near fast moving water during ice-out.  
    I would think that, along with the chance to hit some trout streams may
    be something to strive for.
    
    Or if you want to just partake of the sights of Ottawa, there are a
    few beverage locations that will take your $$$$$.

    By the end of April....most rivers and small lakes should be free of
    ice....the larger lakes will still be covered with ice for the most
    part.

    	As far as I know, for warmwater fish, about the only thing 
    here that is open are panfish.  The Black Crappies are starting to bite
    in the Rideau system if you are interested in ultra-lite fishin'.  One
    of the lads was out on the week-end with his dad and they got a good
    batch of hog sized perch.  Interested in fishin' for some of this
    smaller game?

    yes, if I can get there, still having trouble getting a hotel room
    looking for something within walking distance from the
    Chateau Laurier Hotell in Ottawa on Rideau St...
    
    but if I get time off, any fishing will be great
    
    thanks john
