Safety First When Out on the Ice
By Andrea Grondin
ce fishing might seem like it is
Idesigned for a particular type of
person, but it is one sport that with
a little bit of preparation, almost
anyone can enjoy.
One thing that many people
wonder about is heading off across
the ice and maybe not knowing
whether it is strong enough to
support them. Shawn Primeau, a
seasoned fisherman admits to this
being one of his biggest fears. He
only started ice fishing this year,
although he had been fishing in
other seasons since the age of four.
“Obviously safety is the main key,”
says Primeau, “check your weather
conditions, listen to the police
reports. The police place reports in
the papers on the news all the time.
“It’s probably safest to watch
the weather conditions and ice
condition, besides that you can get
out into 65 feet of water by walking
half a kilometre. The ice provides a
whole other level of fishing.”
During his first year of ice fishing
Primeau has witnessed a couple
friends fall through the ice. “Just
because it’s white ice doesn’t mean
it’s safe ice. Sometimes it’s white ice
because of the snow accumulation;
sometimes the dark ice is thicker
and stronger. It all comes right back
to the safety aspect of it all.”
Primeau says his favorite fishing Hoople Creek is one of the most popular spots for ice fishing in the
spots are Mille Roche or Hoople area. Sometimes you don’t realize just how far from shore you are until
Creek. ‘Roche’ however, is a quiet you get back to dry land.

To be safe when fishing out on
the ice, Primeau uses the latest
technology on his smart phone.
There is an app from Navionics,
a company that specializes in
the manufacture of electronic
navigation charts for marine and
outdoor use. The app itself costs
$14.99 and can be downloaded
for either Android or smart phone
use from the company web site
(navionics.com.)
Another app Primeau uses is
Wind Alert, which warns the user
of the wind forecast, which is a big
part of ice fishing as well.
Sonar devices such as Fish
Finders, which can range in price
from $100 and up are also popular.
Depending on where you are fishing
it could be a useful tool.w
There is a lot of enjoyment to be
shared through ice fishing, but safety
should never be an afterthought.
“You can go out at 6:40 a.m., 10:00
a.m. or sometime later in the day
or night,” says Primeau. “You can
take your loved ones and friends,
you can catch one fish or thirty-five
of them. But what’s the point if you
don’t make it home?”
