Hey all.
Been looking for an ice hut overnight rental for a quick birthday getaway with the girlfriend and pup around mid.Jan, but not really finding exactly what I’m looking for.
Most places I’ve messaged just simply don’t respond, frustrating.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
What I’m looking for is somewhere that is located ideally within 2 hours of Edmonton, that would have pike/walleye/anything really, but the kicker is I don’t want to fish somewhere where I’m in like 15 feet of water.
We’ll be coming out from Banff, and I’m used to fishing 80ft+ up at Spray, so I honestly just find it boring fishing somewhere where I can practically see bottom.
I know some people love that-but it’s not for me.
Seems like this precludes the Gull, Sylvan areas from being suitable etc.
I’d ideally like to find somewhere where I’d be fishing 50ft+. With a mixed bag of species ideally.
The both of us don’t eat any seafood, so don’t really care about fish quality regarding taste etc, but obviously like to catch something that'll pull something drag and give us a good fight.
Rustic/basic accommodations are fine, but some of these fancy shacks with TVs etc. might be easier to sell the lady on, haha!
Anyone point me in a general direction to start looking?
I’d really appreciate it.
Cheers
