Fishing for small channel fish is first and foremost a winter sport activity that brings together families, groups of friends and associations. The question that many people ask themselves in winter is the following: What can we do to make this activity accessible to all members of our family or group without excessive expense? Well I have the answer to your question, fishing for small fish in the channels on the frozen river in Ste-Anne-de-la-Pérade. Do you see this outing as something complicated to prepare? Well make no mistake, it is not. Everything you need is at your fingertips. Just a few simple steps and you’re done. First of all, decide when you want to go out and do what you want to do. Then, we’ll discuss it with the people we’ll be happy to meet during this beautiful day. You will have to reserve your day with your favourite outfitter by counting the number of children and adults who will be present. It is important to make a distinction between children and adults because special rates are in effect for children. Do you also think that you need to be dressed for the coldest weather? You should know that fishing is practiced inside clean and comfortable cottages. I could even call them luxurious, so don’t worry. They are also very well heated with a wood stove on which you can cook your meal. Isn’t it nice to come home to a warm cottage ready to welcome you to practice fishing or socialize on the couch or for the players a little game of cards on the table next to yours while fishing. Of course, you will need to bring some clothes to play outside. We are talking here about skates and clothes to go sliding. You can even, if you feel like it, go play volleyball with your group. Let’s not forget the main reason for your presence, i.e. fishing for tomcod or small channel fish, because there will be some of you who will want to stay indoors and enjoy their activity. Unlike summer fishing or ice fishing on other lakes, you have no equipment to bring. Everything is provided from bait to towels to wipe your hands. Fishing lines and permits will not be part of your luggage since everything is already on site and included in your rate. An experienced guide will introduce you on your arrival and we will be at your disposal throughout your stay with us, all in a festive and relaxed atmosphere. You will be able, as I mentioned earlier, to cook your meal on the wood stove and all the cottages are equipped with electrical outlets. The restaurants in the village of Ste-Anne-de-la-Pérade also deliver directly to your cottage for those who don’t want to worry about packing a lunch. The grocery store or convenience store can help you if you forget something. The pharmacy is also very close to the activity sector. You can enjoy a day of winter activities for a fraction of the price compared to most other winter sports. Your satisfaction is almost 100% guaranteed. At the end of this beautiful day or evening, because fishing is practiced 24 hours a day, you leave with your catch and for fish lovers, this little cod is a treat for the palate. What more could I add to convince you that you will be seduced by our beautiful village on ice, built expressly for the winter period. It’s a must see and unique in the world, Ste-Anne-de-la-Pérade being proclaimed the Capital of the little fish of the channels. You can also visit the Tomcod Interpretation Center before leaving with the memory of a beautiful day spent in good company. See you soon!
