One of the fellow Cat owners I fish with in Canada ran across you on the Big Rideau in June when we were up there. We are going to be back up there starting this Saturday for a week. I was wondering what the fishing has been like? Any info or advice would be appreciated.

Welome to Canada, and you picked a great place to fish!!!! BUT in the last three week Rideau has been pounded hard with two large events and this weekend one of our Classics is Friday to Sunday! Now that may sound like much compared to the stories Ive heard in the US but this lake can not take the pressure and is fishing tough! I hope you bring your boat because within 40 minutes are 10 plus lakes just as good and no tournies, so amazing Fishing. If you have to fish Rideau, the largies are scattered from one foot to 20 and the smallies are from 5 to 40, weed rock is the best , but just find bait and you will find them. Im home for just one day(7am THursday I leave) and then Im gone back for our Classic, so send me a PM with your # and I will call you to tell you the best areas and local lakes that have a problem with to many 4lbersDoug Brownridge

Great advice by both guys on this one SeaPointBakers… listen to the boys and enjoy the unbelievable fishing that surrounds Big Rideau… if you need any additional help send me a PM also, I will be glad to steer you in the right direction… the Bay of Quinte is one of the spots you should seriously consider as well.
