Hoople’s Creek, located between Ingleside and Long Sault in South Stormont, is a favourite place for winter anglers to go ice fishing. The cold weather seems to have led to an increase of ice fishing huts on this body of water over the past week or so. More information on ice fishing regulations in Ontario can be found at www.ontario.ca/page/ice-fishing, with information on winter angling during the COVD-19 pandemic available on the website of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters located at www.ofah.org/covid19/faq or by contacting your local health unit or the local O.P.P. detachment for more information.
