'I love to encourage other women to get into fishing,' says angler who can often be found in her small ice hut on Lake Couchiching seeking pike or perch.

Ice fishing is one of the quintessential winter activities in Ontario, but also a bit of a mystery to those of us who have never experienced an ice hut community on a frozen lake.

What kind of person is compelled to venture out onto a cold, windy lake to huddle in a hut with a fishing rod?
 

You may be surprised to find out that not all ice anglers fit the traditional image of a rugged and seasoned-looking guy decked out in overalls and red plaid jacket.

Meet 31-year-old Shannon Lane. She is an award-winning angler who you can find most days (at least this winter) at her small ice hut on Lake Couchiching. She will be jigging for her favourite catch of pike or perch, and wearing a designer outfit by DSG Outerwear, one of her sponsors.

Lane, who grew up near Lake Simcoe in Pefferlaw, was introduced to fishing by her dad when she was just six years old. It has since become something that has not only made her passionate about being outdoors, but is inspiring others, especially girls and women, to become confident anglers.
