Hi from Canada
-
Hi all,
Quick intro, I live in Northwestern part of Ontario, Canada. I moved here from England 4 years ago, fed up of city living and was wowed by the place when i visited. We live by a lake and i fish almost every day. Species of fish here are predominantly Walleye, Musky, Pike, Lake Trout, Whitefish, Smallmouth Bass, Crappie, Perch with some stocked lakes holding speckled and rainbow trout. This part of Canada is a premier destination for sports anglers, in particular from our friends south of the border in the USA. I fish all year round which means 5 months of the year i'm drilling holes through the ice as it gets pretty friggin' chilly up here.
Thats it for now
Simon
Tight lines!

Hey Rob, lol....ice fishing is not everyones cup of tea....even some of the locals think your crazy for doing it. But wrap up warm and i have a portable shelter i tow behind the snowmobile...add in 17000BTU heater and even minus 30 degrees celcius is ok....its just the wind that will finish you when its that cold.

Mate i cant even imagine it , but im dead keen to give it a go some day hahaha .. I have many a time been out in weather so cold i cant feel the hook if it stabs into my fingers from fumbling around trying to get bait on or off with such cold fingers after hours out in the wind and rain we get real cold southerly winds here but they never have stopped me,, some of my best catches are when its near frezing.. But i take my hat of you you guys who do that kinda fishing where you are cuting holes in ice at minus 30 !! !! :) , good on you mate :)

Welcome , sounds like you got quite a set up up north! I don't get quite as cold as you do up there, I live in Massachusetts..but we still get fairly chilled. Not a big ice fishermen myself, though I fish all year round if I can find open water on the rivers...Have my shelter, heater, and layers, upon layers, upon layers ;)
