Canada 4 Fishing - Ice Fishing Guide

Ice Fishing is an opportunity to get out, enjoy winter, and try some serious fishing.

Many a hardy Canadian has been chipping holes in winter ice for centuries. The reward: fine, healthy fish to add to the family dinner table. Today, visitors to Canada take advantage of sunny winter and spring days to savour this unique sport in comfort. Outfitters in the Canadian north will bundle you into a dogsled for a ride to a snug igloo and an exciting afternoon of char-jigging.

Exciting strikes with the potential for a trophy make this fishing adventure second to none. Nothing tastes better than fresh walleye, pike, whitefish, lake trout, or perch cooked over an open fire on shore, or on a stove in your hut. In the southern areas you can relax in a warm hut on a boreal forest lake or snowmobile out to fish huts or in to back woods lakes. It can be a great way to enjoy Canada in winter.
