kennyman Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yes, I'm an "ice fishing virgin", but I'd like to change that. Sometime early in the New Year, conditions permitting of course, I would like to try ice fishing for the first time. I'd like to try somewhere within a couple hours from Brantford that has huts........... oh yeah, and lots of fish. I have a little Storm ice fishing rod loaded with Fireline Crystal that's been waiting since last Christmas to go out for it's inaugural run. Seems like this is going to be a much better year for ice fishing than last. Shouldn't be hard (or should I say"should be hard"............ ummm, the ice that is ). Where would you go for your first ice fishing adventure? Simcoe? Erie? Where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Simcoe or Erie would both be good choices for you considering 2 hrs. from Brantford. Better chance of good ice at Simcoe. Good Luck: Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clampet Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Welcome to the world of Ice (?) Fishing. Hope you have some fun. I hope you do not become disappointed if your request for "lots of fish" is not fullfilled. Due to the effects of global warming, do not be surprised if your best made plans are laid to waste due to lack of safe ice conditions. They're calling for above zero temps fer the week-end, which isn't at all connnduuuuciiiiiiiiiiive to making water freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
