Groundfish Ice Fishing Opens January 9, 2010 On The Canadian Saguenay

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), Quebec Region, announces that the groundfish ice fishing season on the Saguenay River will open on January 9th, 2010, and close on March 12th, 2010.

In accordance with the current regulations and scientific advice, each person is allowed to catch a maximum of 5 groundfish per day of any type, with the exception of halibut, which must be returned to the water.

To ensure the sustainability of this resource and to allow the continuation of this activity in the future, fishers must abide by the regulation in force.

Moreover, information on the catches provided to DFO must be precise in order to make it possible for the Department to obtain a clear picture of the biomass and to avoid a closure of this activity due to a lack of data coming from the winter fishing effort.

For the safety of those participating in ice fishing, DFO emphasizes that access to fishing sites is conditional on ice thickness in accordance with municipal regulations.

Further, the Coast Guard strongly recommends that all pedestrians, fishers and snowmobilers leave the ice during icebreaking activities as shifting ice may create a real danger for anyone in the area.

Please note that Canadian Coast Guard spring icebreaking operations on the Saguenay River will begin on March 13th, 2010.

Safe Snowmobiling

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

The roar of the engines, the sting of snow on your cheeks, the thrill of the air rushing past you: snowmobiling is an exhilarating sport. Manitoba is a snowmobiler’s paradise, where you are pretty well guaranteed to find snow anytime after December almost anywhere in the province.

Snowmobiling involves thousands of enthusiasts looking for safe trails. That’s one reason Snoman Inc. was born. Snoman Inc. is the trade name of the Snowmobilers of Manitoba, a non-profit organization representing over 51 snowmobile clubs that run a network of groomed trails across the province. The trails are safe and you won’t get lost.

Use of these trails requires a permit called a Snopass, and as of November 1, 2009, these permits can be purchased from any MPI agent.

Just to remind newcomers: You need a valid driver’s license to operate crossing a Manitoba road. Children 14 and under may only legally snowmobile under the supervision of an adult. Each snowmobile must be registered and carry liability coverage of at least $200,000. And finally, use of an approved helmet is mandatory.

To find out about trail conditions in Provincial Parks call (204)945-6784. You can check Snowman trails by calling (204) 940-7533 or visit their website at snoman.mb.ca.

Heat wave continues, high of nine expected

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

WINNIPEG – The November heat wave continues. Sunshine and above-normal temperatures are in the forecast for the entire week.

Environment Canada is calling for a high today of 9 C, with a low tonight of 1.

More of the same is in the forecast for Tuesday.

Environment Canada is predicting that the high will gradually slide downward as the week progresses and says there is a 30 per cent chance of flurries by Sunday.

But until then, there’s nothing but sunny skies.

Winnipeggers have been living in one of the country’s hot spots for days this month.

That’s right: Winnipeg, the city that normally sees the mercury hit a high of only -1 C — and has even seen the dumping of 35.2 cm of snow during 11 hours on Nov. 7 and 8, 1986 — is basking in a November heat wave with barely any precipitation.

Environment Canada meteorologist Dale Marciski said the mean temperature of 2.5 C so far this month is a far cry from the normal -5.3 C.

“But we haven’t broken any records,” Marciski said. “So far it has just been warm.”

The country’s weather guru, David Phillips, said most Canadians could be basking in nice winter weather because it’s an El Niño year, with winds from an abnormal warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean affecting our temperatures.

Phillips, hearing that a Winnipegger quickly broke a sweat kayaking on Lake Winnipeg last Wednesday, said, “Kayaking? Come on, it should almost be ice fishing at this time.”

But, unfortunately, all good things must come to an end; Phillips said even with an El Niño, Canadians will still have winter.

“We are the second-coldest country in the world,” he said.

Ice Fishing as a Sport and Pastime in Manitoba Canada

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Why fish ? Why yet ice fishing in the cold Manitoba winter prairie climes ?

Here is an example of why the sport of Ice Fishing maintains such a hold when it comes to hardy , sturdy yet stubborn local Manitoba sportsmen , fisherman and anglers as well as staunch outdoors enthusiasts:

Wayne Desjarlais has been a teacher at the Ebb and Flow School for almost twenty years. Recently he contacted friend Garry Gurke of Nueltin Fly-In Lodges to see if I would come up and do a seminar on ice fishing for the students at the school.
Located on Highway Number Fifty on the west shore of Lake Manitoba, this community has always enjoyed the bountiful supply of fish that swim in this huge shallow lake. Wayne was first introduced to sport fishing as a young boy when his father took him out any time he could. Wayne has transferred that passion on to his sons and to the community as a whole. Each year he and other members of the community organize a large ice fishing derby in March . This year the event will be held March Twenty First . Tickets and registration are available at the towns new community hall.
Through the Provincial Rod and Reel program and the Fisheries Enhancement Fund we were able to supply four hundred and fifty ice fishing rod and reel combos to the students of the school from Grades One all the way to Twelve. As well for the younger students they received a copy of Carol Szuminsky’s book, Andrew Goes Fishing, a made in Manitoba publication that outlines the great angling opportunities for people in this province.
Ebb and Flow was the twenty second community to receive a visit in the last five years as part of this provincial initiative. Gurke is passionate in his believe in the importance of this outreach in keeping young people connected with the outdoors. As part of the presentation the students learn about fish biology, the environment and stewardship.

Icy Lines in Manitoba

Friday, April 10th, 2009

In Manitoba – there are still large areas by the Manitoba lakes – with areas of frigid temperature and lots and lots of snow and ice.  Its still ice fishing weather out there – that is until a real spring thaw thaws out that winter ice till the ice is not safe to travel on.  As an ice fisherman you should be long gone before that time period.  It never hurts to play it safe and pay your bills prudently , reports experienced Lake Manitoba fishing and hunting outfitter Jadran Transcona.

It may be spring thaw in the city of Winnipeg Canada and yet be frigid conditions still – winter time – alongside and in the lake areas of Manitoba – be it Lake Winnipeg , Lake Manitoba , the narrows or other of the well known ice fishing spots in the province of Manitoba.

To this end caution still comes into play .  Warm , moist air and freezing rain can cause a buildup of frost and ice on overhead Manitoba hydro power lines.  If the ice continues to build , hydro poles can break resulting in downed power lines and power outages – be it in Ashern , the lake manitoba narrows regions or elsewhere.

What can you do .  Manitoba hydro advises first of all to be on the lookout for ice buildup and if so report it by phone or email.  Stay clear of low or sagging power lines , do not travel under or near one, as it can be most dangerous.   In addition try to avoid travelling near crews that are in the process of clearing ice laden power lines.   Lastly never attempt to repair damaged power lines or remove tree limbs from power lines – no matter how experienced you think that you are – advises Transcona. .
