In Quebec, in the middle of winter, ice fishing enthusiasts can finally take out their lines. This traditional fishing, practiced only for recreational purposes, is authorized from December 26 to February 18.
This year, the kickoff was only given on January 15, in Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, 90 kilometers south of Quebec City. With three weeks less, the “(tourist) benefits are halved” for the region, falling to three million Canadian dollars.
