I excpect this to be in the Olympics soon. Yup, Ice Fishing is also a sport, perhaps the most physically challenging Winter sport there is, currently Dubreuville, Chapleau and Wawa are on the podium, but Cochrane could get into the medals on the last 3 days.

Probably the last sport in the world that is still clean and pure, no Russian Oligarch money propping up this league.

One of the most exciting finals ever!

The Ontario Ice Fishing Challenge wrapped up February 28 with over 3,000 fish entered by anglers across the province! Over 500 participants competed for over $8,000 in cash prizes, as well as local bragging rights. In addition to cash prizes, local prizes were donated from community sponsors to encourage local anglers to get out, go fishing, and win the crown for their town.

The Township Of Chapleau was crowned the 2022 Ice Fishing Capital of Ontario with 161 fish caught and 39 residents participating in the event, earning them 7,922 points. Dubreuilville came in second with 18 residents catching 372 fish for a total of 7,782 points. In third place is the town of Wawa, with 45 residents catching 193 fish for a total of 6,707 points. Check out the leaderboard to learn more about how all the towns ranked and how points get earned.

Greg Marino of Sioux Lookout landed the longest fish of the event, with a 112.4 cm Northern Pike. The longest lake trout was won by Steve Dumonski of Sioux Lookout with his 103 cm catch. The longest Walleye came in at 76.2 cm, landed by Chris Hayes. The longest Brook (Speckled) Trout at a respectable 53.5 cm was pulled in by Darren Smith. The longest Yellow Perch measured up at 37.5 cm, reeled in by Nathan Monk of Nipigon. And rounding it all out, Tyler Soulliere of Espanola won the diversity prize catching 18 different species of fish during the event.
