Wil is going to be presenting his “Ice Fishing Lake Simcoe Seminar” to Muskies Canada’s Kawartha Chapter on the evening of February 12th. He will also cover ice safety with a few slides on ice fishing wilderness lakes for brookies and splake. Wil is no stranger to Muskies Canada, having been a key player with MNR’s Lake Simcoe Muskie Restoration Program for most of the 14 years it ran. Several Muskie Canada members have spent a day with Wil trap netting muskie for egg collections on Gloucester Pool or have seen his popular weekly updates during the spring trapnetting exercises. Wil’s visit to our club is without his MNR hat on and he’s happy to talk ice fishing with our group.
