'Being out here, fishing with my son, this is my new addiction,' says angler who, like many ice fishers, has quite a set-up on frozen Lake Couchiching.

Lake Couchiching was a popular place to kick off the new year for local and visiting anglers who were anxious to begin the ice fishing season.

The frozen lake was a welcome discovery, especially when other bodies of water, including Lake Simcoe, were not yet accessible.
 

A colourful collection of portable ice-fishing huts could be seen from Tudhope Park throughout the weekend.

“There must have been over 100 tents out there,” remarked Wes Trinier, who regularly walks through Tudhope Park. “It was a popular spot for sure; the parking lot was completely full.”

Wayne Foreman and his son Denver, of Barrie, were two of the many anglers out on the lake hoping to catch some fish, namely perch and pike.

For the father and son duo, it was not only their first time out in 2021, but the first time they had ventured out with their newly acquired gear and portable hut.

“This is the first year we’ve had our own equipment,” said Foreman. “I usually wait for the huts to be out so I can rent one, or go out with a friend.”
