Ice fishing for Disabled ?

Post by **gogolfer99** » Sat Feb 10, 2007 9:06 pm

Asked this last year but always looking for new locations. My wife wants to go ice fishing. We are willing to drive 2 hours and would consider staying overnight. She uses a cane and can't walk a long distance so it would be great if we had transportation to a heated hut. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Dave

i would take a good look at petrie island. at oziles

right now you can get your car at 5 feet frome the ice shak door.

and the bite is ok now.

Hi Dav,

Hi Dave,
The place where the Kpin fishing durby was held today seems pretty accessible. Oziles marina and bait shop rents fish huts and you can drive right up to them on the ice. It's on the Ottawa river in the east end of Ottawa near Orleans.
cheers

Just curious having found out the hard way. Do the shacks your suggesting have the holes inside where they are easily accessible or are they the ones outside which wouldn't help if she has a cane. Once you move west of the Ottawa river all the huts seem to have the holes inside.
