in the early 90's when I lived in Kanata, Ont. I can't remember how far we went, but we caught some nice fish.
If you ever get down to the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, and find yourself on the south side you should try to get out for some atlantic salmon fishing. I live on the Restigouche River and it is renowned for it's salmon pools. Most tributaries are excellent for sea trout and atlantic salmon as well.
