WINNIPEG The popularity of ice fishing this season has prompted RCMP to issue a reminder that any illegal activity on the ice could leave you on the hook. Colourful shacks lined the Red River on Louis Riel Day as Manitobans enjoyed some holiday fishing. I m loving it, said Jeff Egan, who was ice fishing near Selkirk, Man. Spending time on the hard water doesn t get better than this. Not even the frigid temperatures could deter the large crowd on the Red River. Like my son said, you have to dress in layers, wear good boots and don t be scared of the cold, said Nathan Ballantine, who has been ice fishing for 20 years and decided to take his kids out for the day.
