Fishing in the deep freeze. ‘You should see the one that got away!’
Don’t be fooled by the modest size of these ice fishing shacks near the village of L'Anse-Saint-Jean in Quebec, Canada. Modern day ice huts are often decked out with big-screen TVs, underwater cameras, sonar fish-finders and even bathrooms with hot showers. Some fishermen and women spend entire weekends out on the lake, warm and dry. Here in the Saguenay region of Quebec, they may be fishing for walleye, redfish, cod or black turbot, which are reeled in after drilling a hole in the ice and casting a line in the frigid waters. Brrrr!
