Ice Camping 101 | S2E02 | The Canadian Angle

If there’s a fish that swims, Jay Siemens needs to catch it. In his new series, The Canadian Angle, Jay takes us along for the ride in search of walleye, bass, pike, musky, and everything in-between. New episodes every Friday at 11am MST.
Jay Siemens heads out with his wife Samantha to spend the night out on the ice. Jay not only goes through A-Z on how to make an overnight ice camping experience comfortable and safe, but also shares some ice fishing tips and tricks to land some big walleye along the way.

A tip on winter camping in general never rely on your heater always make sure your sleep system (quilt and pad) will handle the Temps you expect without a heater for safety especially if you are in a remote area.

[@GrowYourOwn13]

Agreed

[@josephbaker4319]

Ya for sure. Breaking that rule could lead to more than a uncomfortable night.

[@IAmAMeateater]

Duh

[@paddleandhook]

I love all of the meat eater fishing episodes :) its hard to beat the experience of a rinella-guided video, but your guys definitely hold your own 💪🏻

Thanks for making these videos! I’m originally from Minnesota and I miss ice fishing so these videos help make me feel at home while serving in the military. Have you ever considered hosting guests on your show? Love to be a part of what you’re doing. Keep it up and thanks!

@Al Fjerstad I grew up in Stillwater and White Bear Lake.

[@mylife4137]

Biggest brown trout I've landed 9lb was on a 1/32 tungsten gold jig with 3lb test while jigging for perch. 2 perch on the ice and what looked like a log on the vex came by and bam! Nearly spooled 3 times and about 15 minutes later a tail grabbed giant was mine.

Another awesome video from the 2(.5) of you! And thanks for making mention of the carbon monoxide detector! I keep one in a shack pocket near my head and another by the heater. I camp alone so I don't run the heater while I sleep but I'm a little over-cautious...

Always infuriates me when Jay doesn't measure the fish hahaha just something I was trained to do to shut people up asking what I've caught

[@MakingTracksManitoba]

Ice Camping has been banned in the provincial parks in Manitoba

[@veroman007]

love the fact that you are not a morning guy but can dive into freezing water and stick a hand into ice water all day and not suffer.

[@underdogoutdoors]

That is awesome! Makes winter fun.

[@hunt_trap_fish]

1) congratulations to you guys on the upcoming baby; we’re due 2/12, and we’re going ice fishing on Sunday. 2) Sam’s nails always look FANTASTIC.

[@08shomola]

What temp do you try to keep your shack at night? Are the vents on the top the the walls enough air to have your heater on high throughout the night.

[@alexcaswell5478]

Those jawjackers seem pretty slick. Wish they were legal here in MN!

[@JimBowSlice]

I knew that had to be Jay!!! The best is 39 hours. But J and his buddys are some incredibly awesome realistic anglers

[@21ZacDUDE]

What was the blue tube hooked up to your 12v box at 16:45 on your dead stick? Edit: for anyon curious its called an Ice Defence. It moves the water and prevents the hole from freezing.

[@schausage]

Congratulations to you and Sam on your pregnancy. Also perky dorsal...... Amazing.

[@kentcostello5286]

You are so lucky we don't have enough ice to do that yet . I want to go and try that for a long time.

[@captainpoil]

[@seanjones2456]

My question is not having wet hands while handling fish that you are going to release? I thought that it was imperative or you will remove the slime of the fish. Is this different in winter?

[@SC-zf6dn]

Loving the new northern fishing content, especially from a fellow Canadian

[@AWEdventures]

Those insulated pop up ice shacks are nice! A buddy here in Alaska stitched a wood stove jack into his and we use it for remote ice camping and fishing. I actually prefer it to my Arctic Oven Igloo, cheaper and easier to set up.

[@duanevigue1603]

Im in Maine and Ive been winter/ice camping since the early 80's when we used to do it in a regular old tent with NO heater and just super warm mummy bags. All these insulated shacks, heaters, etc., is "glamping". People have it so good today.

[@satanmitdengeilenbarthaaren]

Didn't know saugers before, cool. Really beautiful fish, dark spots on them look really nice. The German and Dutch "Zander" has dark stripes and sometimes real deep green color, awesome creatures 😊

[@mattk1946]

Do you have a preference on a comfy cot for sleeping in shacks?

[@michaelcatalano8882]

Absolutely love seeing when you do stuff with your wife. Me and my wife love fishing and camping and just enjoying the great outdoors together and I feel like hardly any pros or content creators do couple stuff.

Do Canadian's call it the "Canadian Angle" I assume it's the same as what us Minnesotan's call the "Northwest Angle"? Or are these different?

[@chuckelliott2459]

My buddies and camp every year on the ice for at least 5 days

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

Awesome fishing guys Congratulations Jay and Sam on the wee one. Awesome news. Much love guys. Also have you thought of putting a stove pipe jack in the shack and heating with wood? Tho propane is probably easier.

[@jamesholley4263]

Another lesson to ice camping…. If you catch a walleye big enough to make a sandwich out of it, his ass don’t go back in the water…

[@txbow88]

That heater also has a built in safety. If the oxygen gets too low it shuts off. Flair had a video and couldn’t figure out why it went out and wouldn’t restart. It shut off. But ventilation is always good along with the detector vomit the safety does work.

[@internetcatfish]

I really want to go ice fishing, but I'd have to drive across the nation to do it. I can only remember one time ponds and small lakes froze over down here in Arkansas, and the ice was only about a quarter inch thick.

[@derekstorkel1992]

If you're willing to make the journey, I'll take you out here in Minnesota. It's definitely a great experience. Just imagine, you get to the lake and instead of parking at the boat launch, you just drive to where you want to fish.

[@internetcatfish]

I just don't have the time or money to go up there right now.

[@boyera24]

Awesome video! Looks like a blast

[@rbljackson]

whats the stet up time for that shelter? Erecting the shelter and driving the stakes basically? Not including all the interior adds like cot, sleep bags, etc. I can see that being a great additional shelter or kitchen area for a late season winter hunt instead of an ez up if it provides a bit more insulation value.

[@David35445]

My goodness, I just inherited that stove from my father. Same color and everything. He used it on his sail boat and it is as solid as the day it was made. And that was a salt water environment too.

Lake of the Woods walleye are SO MUCH smaller than walleye on Lake Sakakawea. Pretty sure its because of the size of the body of water and food chain but WOW what a difference.

Anyone interested in spending lots of time winter camping, invest in a wood stove for your ice tent. Better safer and cheaper then propane.
