The 1000 Islands is world renown for sport fishing. Small and large mouth bass, pike, pickerel and perch are found here in abundance. The fabled and illusive muskies of the area can grow to 65 pounds and require the most patient of fishermen. Boats may be rented nearby or call the local fishing guides to assure your success on the water. Muskie Rush Charters, Greg Reynolds (613) 382-2907 Paul J.
