Ice Fishing the Boucherville Islands

We went to the Boucherville Islands yesterday afternoon. This place is located between Montreal and Boucherville, on the Saint Lawrence river. To get there one needs to use the road leading to the Louis Hippolyte Lafontaine Tunnel, and get off at the @Iles de Boucherville@ exit, where you see the big hotel.

We fished an area near the golf club, between 2 islands. In the summertime this area is reserved for a ferry, but in wintertime, it's open to anyone.

The first thing to know if you plan on going there : it is a very busy place, with hundreds of people walking around, it does not make for a quiet place to fish. Thee are also frequent visits by snowsleds and atvs.

There were 4 of us fishing, and no one caught anything, we moved to different depths, there were a few delicate bites on our jigging rods (missing minnows), but we didn't land one.

There may be another trip to this area next weekend, hopefully there won't be so many people this time.
