His power point presentation in Innisfil will begin with Ice Safety Fundamentals and then focus on ice fishing Lake Simcoe. Particular emphasis will be placed on how to catch more yellow perch, northern pike, whitefish and lake trout this winter. “Lake Simcoe is a huge body of water and has changed dramatically over the last several years. We will see how and why the lake has changed and examine how fish have adapted to those changes. In turn we’ll look at ways anglers can adapt their techniques to maintain successful outings while on the ice,” he said.
With that knowledge and the tips and tricks Wegman will reveal on how to catch those fish … ice anglers of all skill levels are sure to find the evening both entertaining and rewarding. Draw Prizes will be offered following the presentation.
Sponsors of this event include: HT Enterprises, Rapala, Lowrance, Town of Innisfil and Lake Simcoe Living Magazine.
