2026 Ice Fishing opens January

Ice Fishing

Three fishing rods stuck into the frozen surface of a lake or river, with snow and ice covering the water, under a cloudy sky, in a winter scene.

Ontario hosts an amazing range of ice fishing possibilities across the province. While many experts focus their energy on more remote fishing locations, amazing fish and opportunities can still be found close to home. We are striving to bring the experience more accessible and affordable to enable more people can take part in this unique Canadian tradition. We welcome people of any age and experience to tag along for the ride and get a taste of this great Canadian sport.
