The Best Ice Fishing in British Columbia

            British Columbia is known to have mild winters, which is the main reason why it may be the last place any ice fisher would think of going. However, what most people aren't aware of is that B.C is full of ice fishing opportunities and due to their mild winters, don't need to be accessed by snowmobiles or quads.

    This article talks about the many types of fish you can find during your ice fishing adventures and in what lakes you can find them. From Rainbow Trout, to Kokanee Salmon and Lake trout, the article goes in depth about the weight, size, and the different conditions in which each type of fish can live. If you're new to the ice fishing world, this article is a perfect step-by-step guide to maximizing the number of fish you catch!

     Overall, this article has changed the way I view ice fishing and the way I view British Columbia as well. In the past, I always believed that ice fishing was pointless, as I thought it was the same as regular fishing during the warmer months. However, after reading this article, I learned that ice fishing is much more in depth and difficult than it appears to be. It has also opened my eyes to British Columbia in the sense that you can't judge a place by it's surroundings. I now know that it is one of the best places to go ice fishing, with plenty of diverse fish to catch. I don't believe that this article however will make me change my behavior. I don't feel as if I will ever go fishing, let alone go ice fishing in my life simply because I have no interest or patience to do so. If I ever did decide to go ice fishing however, British Columbia would most likely not be the place I would go to do it. Therefore, this article has inspired me to inspire others who may have an interest in ice fishing. With this knowledge I can now convince others to consider going to British Columbia, due to their diverse fish in more than one lake, and the easy access to those lakes without using a snowmobile or quad to reach their destination.
