Yannick Loranger, owner of Ottawa River Guided Fishing, used to see a full ice-fishing season run from Jan. 1 to March 15. In recent years he has barely seen it last two months. Last year his season ran for 35 days.

“In 2008 I remember ice fishing on well over a foot of ice on New Year’s Day, as opposed to the last two or three years, where I wouldn’t even feel safe walking on the ice before early January,” he said.

Loranger saw a 70 per cent drop in sales last winter which has led him to start selling his shacks. The majority of them sit on the Ottawa River, where the conditions are meant to be superior for ice fishing.
