This weekend marked 2 months of ice fishing every weekend, so I suppose I am officially a weekend warrior! It’s hard to believe that there are only a couple weeks left of walleye fishing until it re-opens in spring, it went by unbelievably fast. This was my second year of ice fishing but I’ve gotten out a lot more this year and have enjoyed every moment of it. I am so grateful to have friends that took me under their wing and showed me the ways of ice angling! I can’t thank them enough – theĀ Quinte Ice Fishing Team. They have recently appeared on the Angler & Hunter TV show, and have filmed other TV shows as well. I am very proud, they deserve to be recognized!
Yesterday the morning bite was present, but not large numbers. I believe it was 9 fish caught in our group before lunch time, and then after lunch the wind picked up and the fish shut down. I caught these 2 in the morning:
The morning bite was my favourite, aggressive fish shooting up off bottom and whacking the bait! As the wind blew in the afternoon, I marked 3 fish but they would barely come up off bottom as if to be ‘spooked’. At the end of the day, I was just happy to get out with a good group and come home with a nice photo!
Next weekend I will set out in search of walleye, and then it’s time to try lake trout and whitefish for the first time very soon – can’t wait!
Thank you for visiting!

Nice fish!
But gee it seems way too cold for me!
Have a good day.
Nice fish! I haven't been out fishing on ice yet this winter.
You definitely have a way of coaxing large eyes to the surface Ashley. I have no doubt you'll show the same skill in deep water!
I admire your tenacity to be active ice fishing for two months straight. It appears that you have had a great ice fishing season.
Ashley, You just keep catching them fish and making it look so easy!
This is such an amazing entry and I love to read more of it so that I will be able to look over and have it as an inspiration for further articles to write about when it comes to updates on fly fishing and it's pros and cons too.
