Deep River Rip

Published 2024-07-18
Happy Hot Summer Days my friends! This video is about a trip that Annette and I made up the Ottawa River to the Swisha from Deep River. Other than a nasty rain cloud that plague us for 30min it was an awesome day. We hope you all enjoy.

    Anchoring in the really fast water just by the old coffer dam on the Ontario side was our favourite Walleye spot. Fishing on the bottom with a heavy sinker and a live minnow did the trick. Walleye, (Yellow and Blue )would give us enough fillets for the Winter...with the odd big Catfish and Pike for variety.. sometimes a big Sturgeon. The place ate anchors due to the current and the rocky bottom left over from when they blew the coffer dam so we made our own from Tobacco tins filled with lead from the ball shrapnel found on the surface on Gust Plains...lol I used to sell it at 6 cents a lb. in Pembroke and did quite well for a kid...That was a time you could go to the fair and go on every ride for the day and eat till you were sick for only 5 dollars.

    We had a 17 ft. cedar strip and an 18 hp Evinrude. The trips to Des Joachims were done from Engineers dock at Base Petawawa so they were quite the trip. My favourite spot was Oiseaux Rock.. Sometimes we would stop and hike to the lake at the top and catch some Quebec trout. Camping on the sand bars downriver from Des Joachims was a lot of fun.... I think there is a water intake now for a nuclear plant on the sand bar we used the most.
