If you have children, or dogs, or just some good ole buddies, take 'em out for some fresh air and a chance to adjust your SAD state. You'll probably need live bait. Take some walleye home - they're fine eating. And remember - if you can't or won't eat them all, then release the extra fish. We've got the future to think about, you know.
Daily limits are six fish for both pike and walleye.
For pike, there isn't one, but most people release them anyway. Over 24 inches, they are big enough to take the time to fillet. Better read the 2000 Ontario Sport Fishing Regulations carefully. By the way, there 's some excellent fishing in Dow's Lake right in downtown Ottawa. Try around Brewer's Park- a little down from the Bronson Street bridge.
