Teasing the fish, in winter? Yes! On a frozen lake or river, ice fishing is an absolutely extraordinary experience. All you need is to dress warm… unless you handle your fishing rod (traditionally called a “brimbale”) at one of the many sites that are equipped with heated shelters. The fish are always ready to bite. Whether you are a beginner or a savvy angler, with family or friends, everyone has fun fishing in the middle of winter in Quebec.
