A heated hut on a frozen lake, a line in the hole and the silence of winter: ice fishing is a surprisingly easy outing with children. Centres provide everything, hut, drilled holes, gear, often bait, and many require no licence for youngsters. This guide brings together 32 ice fishing centres in Quebec, open from January to March depending on the ice, each with the venue’s listing, rates and species.
Tips: book your hut ahead on weekends; bring games for the quiet moments; and check the listing to see whether a fishing licence is included or required for adults.
