Our Chapter is dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of Musky fishing. If you are not a Muskies Canada member, come out and meet the great people in our membership. \u00a0Learn about the great things that Muskies Canada does to enhance and protect our fisheries, and then decide if it\u2019s for you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With the world-class fishery of the Ottawa River and its many tributaries at our doorstep, there are endless opportunities for every level of Musky angler. The Chapter has a wealth of local Musky enthusiasts that make our meetings informative and enjoyable. If you\u2019re already an experienced angler or a past member, please consider coming out to share your knowledge and passion for the sport.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our modest Chapter meets from October through May on the second Wednesday of every month at 7 or 7:30 pm depending on the nature of the meeting. Our meeting location varies to balance travel time across our membership. Normally we try to rotate between Arnprior, Renfrew, Cobden, and Pembroke. Check our\u00a0Facebook Page<\/a>\u00a0for information on our next meeting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At Chapter meetings we share information on local fishing conditions and strategies, plan outings, and strengthen connections across the community of Musky anglers in the Ottawa Valley. Everyone with an interest in Musky fishing is welcome. There are no cliques, no secret handshakes, and we have a firm zero-drama policy.\u00a0 We are simply a group of people who come together to support each other\u2019s fishing goals through Muskies Canada.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
