musky trip?

[line guy]

looking to go into ontario for some musky, any suggestion on lakes or rivers would be great. got 6 days to travel around.

The Ottawa River has a healthy population of muskies. It is one of the best rivers for numbers of muskies. Lake St. Clair and the 1000 islands are 2 other great musky fisheries. If you want numbers, I would say the Ottawa river or Lake St. Clair. For a chance at a true monster, I would go with the 1000 islands.

If you go to the 1000 islands I would wait until Nov. even Dec. can be good check on some of the guides sites they will talk about the best time of the year to go and I would get a Canadian license there are some great spots north of the fence. I will be thinking of you while I am sitting in my treestand Good Luck and post a pic of a monster!!!

are there any campgrounds near ottawa river? and what areas of the river Towns, launches, never been there any info would help. also thinking of gorgeian bay area.

if you're thinking about Georgian, consider the Kawarthas too for part of the trip if you want to move around a bit from day to day etc. since its relatively close to there. I know of a bunch of folks that make treks specifically there from the states. different than the big water of Georgian or the river fishing in Ottawa. a bit smaller lakes and shallower, probably more like our chautauqua with a more irregular shoreline: more structure to help find the fish...bunch of guides there too...

good luck!
