Ice hut rental around ottawa??
Ice hut rental around ottawa??
HI guys
I am planning to meet up with some friends from southern ontario in ottawa (halfway) sometime this winter and they have always wanted to go ice fishing. We use to fish Simcoe all the time and they wanted to coem with us but we moved before we could do it.
I got all the gear,a portable, rods and a VEX but since these people are not hard core fisherman I think a heat hut would be the best. Do you guys know of any outfitters around ottawa that rents huts, looking to fish for perch, walleye anything really as long as there is some action once in a while. What time of the year would be the best to go?
Thanks DH

Baitcasters on Mississippi Lake rents shacks, as does Constance Lake Lodge, on Constance Lake near Kanata. I think Sandy Hook Bait in Arnprior rents them, plus there's a couple in Constance/Buckhams Bay, (Bayview Bait, and "Tommy")
There are few problems in life which can not be solved with a well-placed, high-explosive projectile.

The huts they have there at least up until now have had no holes because of people getting drunk and putting empty bottles in the holes..broken glass, garbage...even as bad as human waste. They really had no choice in the matter. It was causing pollution and making a huge mess down there.
If the people rnting would have been more responsible then the holes would likely still be there.
They have huts to pop in and out of for warmth and holes outside.
