The wiggle fish can’t resist - Rapala!!
Using a shoemaker’s knife and some sandpaper, Lauri Rapala created his first successful lure from cork in 1936. Tinfoil from chocolate bars formed the lure’s outer surface and melted photographic negatives fashioned the protective coating.
Today, Rapala lures are still hand-tuned and tank-tested to swim
perfectly right out of the box.
Thank
you Rapala for sponsoring the 20th Annual Canadian Ice FishingChampionship!

Congratulations Michal Bialy CIFC 2014 Contest Winner!
It is our pleasure to announce that Michal Bialy of Markham, Ontario has been selected as the winner of our week one CIFC 2014 ENTER TO WIN contest.
Michal has lived in Markham for most of his life and has been fishing since he could barely speak. He and his father have camped and fished in and around the Grundy Lake area to Algonquin and even Temagami. They have also portaged with kayaks to fish those lakes which are inaccessible to highways.
Their catch has "included northern pike, bass, walleye and the odd trout when season comes. Also, who doesn't love eating perch in the winter time!"
Michal and his friend fish almost every week or whenever their work and school schedules allow for it.
Congratulations Michal!!
