Ice Fishing in Fernie Canada
As a keen fisherman myself I am always enthusiastic about exploring new opportunities. However, ice fishing is not something that springs immediately to mind when considering new fishing challenges.
Nonetheless, there are reports that many people are making their way to Fernie each season on the promise of huge dumps of snow and being tempted by alternative past times to skiing - ice fishing being one of them. Many of the locals contend that for a true taste of traditional Canadian life you really need to, head out on an ice fishing trip. Um I suppose they would say that wouldn’t they!
The trip is offered by Fernie Wilderness Adventures who pick you up from your hotel, and escort you by 4x4 (or snowmobile if you’re lucky) to one of the nearby lakes. They’ll cut a hole and show you how to drop a line after which it’s a matter of patience. If you’re fortunate, you’ll be having fresh Eastern Brook trout for supper.
I can’t say that this gets me particularly excited, but I suppose you simply can’t knock these things until you try them!
