Fishing
in
the
Ottawa
Valley
The
sun
inches
over
the
horizon.
Mist
dances
over
the
shimmering
surface
of
a
tree-lined
lake.
Silence
is
shattered
as
the
water
erupts
at
the
end
of
a
taut
line.
Another
fishing
day
has
begun
in
the
Ottawa
Valley
(Renfrew
County)..
Embracing
the
Ottawa,
Madawaska
and
Bonnechere
Valleys,
the
Ottawa
Valley
covers
and
area
of
over
3,000
square
miles
between
the
mighty
Ottawa
River
and
the
wilderness
of
Algonquin
Park.
The
Valley boasts
158,000
acres
of
water
filled
with
more
than
20
species
of
fish.
This
fishing
paradise,
until
recently,
known
only
to
local
sportsmen,
is
within
a
day's
drive
of
major
centres
in
Ontario,
Quebec
and
the
northeastern
United
States.
Whether
your
taste
compels
you
to
search
out
the
explosive
bass,
succulent
walleye,
or
seeks
a
showdown,
which
only
the
northern
pike
and
muskellunge
can
provide,
Ottawa
Valley gives
anglers
the
chance
to
net
a
trophy
fish.
Whether
you
prefer
casting
from
shore,
trolling
from
an
open
boat,
jigging
on
the
open
ice,
or
sharing
an
ice-fishing
experience
with
a
freind,
fishing
in
the
Valley will
bring
you
back
year
after
year
to
enjoy
its
uncrowded
waters,
any
season
you
choose.
