Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Not happening for me. Late May, early June, the lakers rise. Don’t need to see them to catch them.
I am missing something. Why on earth go to all that trouble if you aren’t going to eat them?ca
Very cool process and techniques … but that is a butt load of work and effort for catch & release. I hope he was using barbless hooks too … just to be a TOTALLY politically correct eco-angler.
I’m not trying to slight you … but have you ever gone ice fishing?
Never. Is it less work than it appears ? I love fishing … but those are deadly harsh conditions.
I assume that “sight” fishing is simply making a LOT bigger hole in the ice than the typical screw hole ?
Actually you only need a 8″ to 10″ hole to “sight fish”. At 27′ you have a wide view angle.
Whiskey distillers love ice fishers.
For large lake trout catch and release is not being a “politically correct eco-angler” it’s ensuring that the breeding stock is not depleted so we can have a sustainable resource. For example in most Yukon lakes one can keep only 3 lake trout per day and only one can be longer than 26″. Anglers are encouraged to use barbless hooks and to return all the big fish unless they’re too injured to survive.
Damn that was a lot of ads at the start, then a rambling intro, so I never actually got to the part I guess was supposed to be good.
You would have a hard time sight fishing lakers in 15 feet of water here though, but you can jig for them using the fish-finder.
He bent his saw.
Ice season just ended here in southern ON and I already miss it
We hammered the perch pretty good this year .
Learned a lot, thanks everyone.
Kenji – its illegal to use barbed hooks in Manitoba. They actually tear the fish up pretty bad…
As for C&R- fishing ain’t necessarily about the kill, it’s the thrill of the chase…. 🙂
Something you really didn’t want to know. If you dig a hole in the ice or a hole in the ground and someone falls in it and dies you are guilty of manslaughter with a potential sentence of life in prison.
