Jan 31 2023 - Ice Fishing

 

Ice fishing. "Some anglers embrace the sport’s solitude while others relish the atmosphere of camaraderie a hut on a frozen lake has to offer."

Why do seemingly normal people go out in extremely cold weather to venture onto a frozen snow and a windswept body of water to stare down through a hole in the ice to catch a fish?  And likely throw it back.

No answers came forth.  Just advice on where to fish. There are a lot of places in Ontario.

"Ontario can make all of your lake trout dreams come true. In addition to enjoying extensive opportunities for lake trout, the waters in which the fish are found are spread almost universally across the province."

"The Bay of Quinte, in Prince Edward County is renowned for its trophy winter walleye fishing. The slightly deeper waters host sensational lake trout fishing."

We are at the last day of January - a perfect moment to consider ice fishing.  Lots of frozen lakes in Ontario are waiting.  

Here's an often-repeated ice fishing joke:

A man is out ice fishing when he hears a voice say "You can't fish here!."
He looks around and doesn't see anybody, so he goes back to his fishing.
Again, out of nowhere the voice returns, more urgent this time, "You can't fish here!"
He again looks around and says, "God?"
"No, I'm the rink attendant. You can't fish here!"

All of my fishing involves taking pictures of Koi in summer gardens or conservatories.
