Two very different ice fishing trips on Lake Temagami — one back in 2020 and another in January 2026 — but both unforgettable. ❄️🎣 From ice bungalows and quiet waters to battling injuries and frigid temps, these trips reminded me why I love ice fishing in Northern Ontario.

Curious how the fishing went and what I’d do differently next time? Check out the full trip report on the blog:

Quick ice fishing observation:
Some people are afraid the noise from their augers will scare away fish. But when targeting brook trout, I often catch fish not long after a hole is drilled.

Have you noticed this too?

Quick walleye tip: when ice fishing, most bites I get aren’t aggressive — it’s just a soft tap or you stop feeling the weight of your bait.

Would you use forward-facing sonar while fishing from a canoe or kayak?

Hot take: forward-facing sonar doesn’t make you a better angler — it just changes how you fish.
