Dows Lake

This man-made lake is connected to the Rideau Canal, offering endless fishing opportunities for both beginners and pros alike. Located at the foot of Preston Street and Queen Elizabeth Drive, Dows Lake and the surrounding parkland create an idyllic retreat that caters to the outdoor enthusiast.

Large and smallmouth bass, muskie, pike, carp, crappie, bluegill, sunfish and perch are all present in this system, and in very good numbers. Youngsters can toss a worm and bobber for unlimited pannie action, while those searching for largemouth are best advised to work Texas-rigged plastics or weedless topwaters through and around the abundant vegetation.

​

Dows Lake Pavillion offers a launch ramp (fee), gas, washrooms, restaurants, as well as pedal boat, canoe, kayak and rowboat rentals. A large parking lot (fee) can be found directly across from the pavillion, but street parking is located a short walk away off of Preston Street and Carling Avenue.

Carp grow big and ornery at Dows Lake, and can often be spotted in schools lurking just under the surface of the water. Heavy line and large spools are needed to wrestle these fish to the net, with canned corn, dough balls or nightcrawlers working best as bait. The western side of the lake seems to produce best, especially down towards the canal.

Bike paths surround the lake, and also run the length of the canal. Strap on the roller blades or don the bike helmet, and coast your way to some great angling possibilities.

Petrie Island

A short car ride east along Highway 174 will land you at Petrie Island - a popular angling destination for city folk. Located on Trim Road, Petrie offers a multitude of fishing opportunities throughout all seasons.

Shore spots abound, and include numerous inlets and bays, as well as casting directly into the big Ottawa River. Walleye anglers do well during the spring and fall periods casting into and around the large culverts that run under the road by the bait shop. Jigs and live bait are your best bet.

Launch ramps (fee) are available, as well as a marina, café, boat rentals, live bait and licenses. Parking lots are also located on the island.

Panfish anglers will enjoy the abundant perch, crappie, bluegills and sunfish. Early spring will see crappie close to shoreline structure throughout the island. Ultralight gear and micro tube jigs are always a good bet for action. This is a great time to bring youngsters and the family, as the fishing action can often be fast and furious.

Largemouth and smallmouth bass, muskie, garpike, ling and sturgeon are common catches, with trophy-sized fish always a possibility.

Pike are often targeted during the winter at Petrie. Suspending live or dead bait under a tip-up generally gets the nod. Crappy Bay is a good place to start your search.

Walking trails can be found throughout the island, giving the nature nut a reprieve when the casting arm gets tired. A sandy beach and picnic facilities are also here.

Eccolands Park

Eccolands Park is located on River Road, just south of Hunt Club, and adjacent to the Ottawa Airport. A free launch ramp can be found here, leading you to a small stretch of the Rideau River that is capable of producing big fish.

Muskie rule the roost in these waters, and are more than willing to hit oversized topwaters and bucktails during the heat of summer, and large jerkbaits when fall rolls around. Target 8 to 12-foot flats, as well as the abundant weedlines. Rock and boulders will also hold good numbers of fish.

Parking is available on site, as well as washroom facilities, picnic areas and playground equipment for the kids. Shorefishing is best done along the grassy areas in the park, or from one of the two large floating docks.

Spring can be a good time to chase walleye, with jigs and livebait working best. Concentrate on rock shoals at this time, and deep weedlines as the season progresses.

Smallmouth bass, pike, perch, bluegills and sunfish can also be caught here, providing good action on an otherwise quiet section of river.

Kars

The Rideau River holds endless fishing possibilities, and the stretch located at Kars may be the cream of the crop. Running approximately 40 kilometres in length, the river here has the locks of Long Island to the north and Burritts Rapids in the south.

Kars is a quaint town that is located just east of Highway 416, on Rogers Stevens Drive. Boaters can access two public launch ramps, with a good cement style directly on the river, and a gravel version at the Kars Recreation Arena. This can be found directly across the street. If utilizing the cement ramp, vehicles and trailers must be left at the arena, which is a short five-minute walk.

Largemouth bass enthusiasts can choose any structure style they like, as this stretch has docks, timber, pads, slop, rock and heavy weeds. Flipping jigs fished on heavy line, as well as buzzbaits and spinnerbaits are excellent choices.

Shore anglers can fish from the cement ramp, or from inside the park. Night fishing for walleye with minnows and floats can make for a productive outing, as can panfishing with light gear. Spring crappies can be found shallow in the park area, and are best caught with slip floats and micro tubes.

Smallmouth bass, perch, bullhead, pike, bluegill and sunfish are always willing to play tug of war, and can be found in good numbers for those willing to search.

Chasing muskie throughout this stretch can bring about some photo-worthy moments. I’ve witnessed numerous fish over 30-pounds out of Kars, but they do take dedication and time. Trolling large body baits or working jerkbaits and bucktails are the go-to lures for most, but don’t overlook large suckers, either alive or dead. Drifting along weedlines or deep holes can often bag you fish with this tactic.

Mississippi Lake

Although not located directly in Ottawa, Mississippi Lake is a premier fishing stop that is a 30-minute drive west along Highway 7. This large lake has an average depth of 9-feet and bottoms out at approximately 30-feet.

Walleye are the fan-favourite here and can be caught with a variety of tactics. Working bucktail jigs around weedlines and clumps has proven its effectiveness on many occasions, as has working 3 or 4-inch twistertails along rock shoals and points. Pink, chartreuse, white and black are excellent colour choices.

Two concrete launch ramps (fee) can be found at the municipal park in the town of Carleton Place. There is ample parking, as well as picnic areas, washrooms and playground equipment. This large park is a great spot for the shore angler, with largemouth and smallmouth bass, pike, crappie, bluegill and sunfish available to be caught. Live bait suspended under a float, shiny inline spinners and noisy topwaters should see some action.

There is a public launch to the west of Carleton Place at Concession 9A, just off Highway 7. This gravel ramp is free and parking is available. Baitcasters also provides launch facilities (fee), and can be found on the southwest side of the lake.

Saucer-shaped bluegills can be found in good numbers on Mississippi, especially during the early spring period. Look for shallow back bays with a mud or silt bottom, in 3 to 5-feet of water. Micro tubes and mini crankbaits work well on these fish.

Bate Island

Adjacent to the Champlain Bridge, Bate Island is accessible by taking Island Park Drive or the Ottawa River Parkway. The NCC bicycle path will also bring you right to this spot.

Situated on the Ottawa River, this small island park offers the shore angler many options. Smallmouth bass are the main quarry here, where they reside in the fast-flowing currents and slack water. Heavy jigs, crankbaits and topwaters all have their place. Fly fishers are also a common sight at Bate Island, preferring to toss streamers and poppers to these acrobatic fish. Bring a pair of waders in order to work the water more thoroughly. Quieter water can be found at the east end of the island.
There are ample parking spots for those wishing to drive, with benches available that make for excellent lunch stops.
Canoes can be launched at a narrow sand opening on the north side of the island. By working below the rapids in a boat, walleye, bass, pike, catfish and panfish can all be caught. Take extreme care when working a boat, or wading in and around the fast water. The currents can be strong here and should always be respected.

New Edinburgh Park

This park offers a nice retreat for the angler, all within the confines of the city and on the Rideau River. Located south of Sussex Drive on Stanley Avenue, this fair-sized green space has most of the amenities needed for a good day out.

Parking is free, but is fairly limited. If the lot is full, try one of the side streets that can be found close by. Launching a canoe can be done at a number of shoreline spots, but you will have to carry your craft a fair distance from your vehicle.

Largemouth bass and pike are plentiful at this spot, and tossing 3/8th oz. spinnerbaits and buzzbaits, in white or chartreuse hues, can catch both.

There is plenty of shoreline access to cast a line, and this is one spot that the whole family can enjoy. Playground equipment is available for entertaining the kids when the fishing slows, and washroom facilities are open in the park building when programs are running. Picnic spots are also provided.

Muskie, carp, walleye, perch, bluegills, crappie, and smallmouth bass can also be found here, and can lead to a mixed bag at the end of the day.

Sunfish are a common catch at the park, and are excellent species to start young anglers off with. A small piece of worm on an Aberdeen hook, with a bobber for visual strikes, is your best bet.

The NCC bike path runs through New Edinburg – this will allow you to fish multiple fishing spots throughout the day.

Victoria Island

This beautiful island can be found a short walk from Parliament Hill, and boasts some breathtaking views of the cityscape and Ottawa River. Motorists will need to use the Chaudiere Bridge, while pedestrians can access the island by Portage Bridge or Chaudiere.

Victoria Island, or Turtle Island, is located at the foot of Chaudieres Falls. This location has strong Aboriginal roots, and celebrates this culture all summer with the authentic recreation of an Aboriginal village. During the warm months, visitors can enjoy Aboriginal food, dancing and many other activities.

Walleye and smallmouth bass are the most common catches here, and heavier presentations are needed to work the current areas. Jigs in ½ or ¾ oz. weights, tipped with plastics or minnows will work well for both. If slack water is found, lighten up on the gear.

Parking can be found on the island, as well as picnic facilities, washrooms and concession areas. This is a place that the whole family can enjoy, as when the fishing slows, there are many other activities to do. Shore spots abound, and finding a quiet spot to yourself shouldn’t be a problem.

Pike can also be caught here, and are best targeted by tossing heavy spoons (such as the 5 of Diamonds) to the current breaks and calmer water. Chartreuse, silver, and red/white are good colours to start with.

Dunking worms for catfish can also provide fun times. A heavy sinker and a glob of worms should get you into the action.

Mooney’s Bay

This large expanse of the Rideau River can be found just south of the lock station at Hog’s Back, and adjacent to Riverside Drive. Fishing possibilities are varied here, and can be done both on shore and from a boat. A launch ramp (fee) can be found on the south side of Hog’s Back, but access is limited to 9am to 7pm during the summer months. Boats can run southward to Black Rapids.

Panfish action can be fast and furious during the early spring, with crappie, bluegills and sunfish turning up in good numbers. Fishing around the locks and shoreline structure with small tubes and grubs will put you in the action. If fish become finicky, try small minnows or maggots suspended under a float.

Mooney’s Bay Park can be accessed from Riverside Drive, giving the shore angler many spots to cast. Work noisy topwaters during the early morning or evening hours for the abundant largemouth, with Senko-style baits and Texas-rigged worms or lizards producing better during the day.

Parking is available onsite (fee), as well as on many of the side streets. Picnic tables provide a perfect spot for a packed lunch, and the supervised beach can make for a refreshing soak when the heat is on high. Playground equipment is also available for the kids.

Boat anglers will want to try the numerous humps found throughout the bay for smallmouth bass. Three-inch tubes on 5/16th or 3/8oz lead heads are an excellent choice. Stick to natural colours, such as brown, smoke and white.

Walleye, pike, carp, and muskie can also be caught. Try oversized spinnerbaits in black or chartreuse for the latter.

Billings Bridge

This green space along the Rideau River is surrounded by hustle and bustle, but can offer some great fishing throughout the year. It’s located at Bank Street and Riverside Drive, and across from the Billings Bridge Plaza.

Access to parking can be found off of Riverside Drive South only. (They routinely ticket vehicles that park in the plaza itself, so be forewarned.) The bike path along the river also runs through the area.

Muskie are routinely caught in this area, and give many a shore angler a run for their money. Try 6 to 9-inch jerkbaits in walleye or bass patterns, teamed up with 30-pound-test mono line and a stout rod. Largemouth bass are also plentiful, and will usually hit topwater baits early or late in the day. Work a “Spook-style” lure over likely looking weed edges for exciting action.

Washrooms and restaurants can be found at the plaza. I prefer to utilize a park bench and a bagged lunch when I hit this spot, giving me more time to fish.

Panfish, including perch, crappie, bluegill, and sunfish are also in the area, and are always willing to take a live bait presentation.

Pike, walleye, and carp can also be tempted to take a variety of baits and lures. A larger shiner minnow, suspended under a sensitive float, would work well for all of these fish. Be prepared for a hard-fought battle if a carp happens to suck it up!
