Anglers are being encouraged to get out on the ice with a special COVID-safe ice fishing tournament, spanning the month.
The Ontario Ice Fishing Challenge starts today, encouraging anglers to fish locally and help their community compete to be crowned the "Ice Fishing Capital" of Ontario.
Participants simply need to register through the Angler's Atlas website and the MyCatch app, pay the entry fee, then go out on the ice and log their catch with the app.
There will be local leaderboards - with prizes on the line - while participating communities compete to be Ice Fishing Capital, based on "collective catch" - Wawa claimed the title last year, with Moonbeam placing second and Chapleau third.
They're competing again this year, with Wawa's run sponsored by the Wawa Motor Inn and Chapleau's by the Township of Chapleau
The Ontario Ice Fishing Challenge runs to February 28th.
