Kesagami Legends

We at Fishing Fury don’t have anything against ice fishing, we just don’t care much for the cold. If I was going to go ice fishing though, I’d definitely want to fish for pike. If I could pick just one lake to ice fish, it would have to Kesagami in Ontario (Unless of course they start offering ice fishing trips at Little Vermilion). Why Kesagami? Just take a look at these monster pike…

Read the the story behind the legendary trip at OFN Community. (not to mention more amazing photos)

Season Opener Tomorrow!

It’s been a long time since I’ve been fishing. I was hoping to go ice fishing this winter, but it never worked out. There is still ice on many of the lakes nearby, but trout, smallmouth bass and chain pickerel season opens tomorrow and I’m going fishing even If I have to break the ice to do it. My friend Adrian and I visited a local lake yesterday that has open season year round for fishing, but the only open water was well out of casting distance. I’m very excited about fishing this early in the year. Growing up in Ontario, pike season opened in May, while bass and musky season doesn’t open until June.

I figure it will be another few days of warm weather before the ice melts, but there are some other lakes near my work that have only a little ice remaining. So tomorrow I’ll be fishing on my lunch break!

Spring Is Here!

Thursday was officially the first day of spring here in North America. In Soviet Russia, they determine the first day of spring by parking their cars on the ice. When the car falls though the thinning ice, spring is here!

Cabin Fever

Ontario and Quebec have been getting hammered by snow lately, but that doesn’t stop some people from practicing a few casts…

The Best Ice Fishing Hut You Will Ever See

I’ve never been ice fishing before. The idea of sitting on a frozen lake in the cold doesn’t sound like the best way to spend my day. I wouldn’t mind ice fishing in a nice little shack though. Better yet, a shack with satellite, solar power, heating, television and more…

I’m guessing this is from Ontario, but the email claims it’s from Newfoundland. And a piece of advice to the builders, try moving the wood stove away from your only exit - if that place catches fire, you’ll be toast!

Thanks Vaughn!

Ice Sturgeon

Here’s something you don’t see everyday, a big ole sturgeon pulled through the ice on light tackle. I would imagine there must have been a panic to make the hole bigger once they had a look at this fish near the surface!

The fish is said to have been over 66 inches long and more than 70 pounds and was released after a couple of photos.
