- This video shows my 83 year old father net fishing through the ice on Delaronde Lake, near Big River in North-Central Saskatchewan. The video is a series of clips that were taken over a 3-4 year period. My father, who has lived a mile from this 32 mile long lake all his life, sets nets every winter and donates the proceeds from all the fish that he sells to the Big River Recreation Centre. What fish he doesn't sell he gives away to others in the community.
Hi. If it isn't too windy or stormy you can follow the jigger as it goes out (requires two people). It is red so it shows up through the ice if there isn't snow. It also goes straight (or supposed to) and you know how much line has gone out. Sometimes you have to make a few holes to find it. An aluminum shovel is like a mirror so if you make a hole and can't find the jigger you can put the shovel down and turn it slowly and look for the red of the jigger. If all goes well you find it. If not...
Nice
I just got my 1st gill nets, i'm around the hudson bay area, not sure which lakes and rivers i'm allowed to net but will look into it when I get them rigged up. I am excited to learn this skill and start gaining experience.
This video was posted 4 years ago. My father will be 87 in April - and was fishing nets this past December. Below is original description from when the video was posted

Way cool.
Mostly it is. Sometimes in the fall you go out in smaller vehicles (Quads/Snowmachines) before it is thick enough for a vehicle
Good for your Dad!! What size mesh is the net?
I love the upload and I want to say that I haven't been to the gym since high school and the last time I squatted I squatted 390Lbs and I don't know how you guys felt after catching those Amberjacks but I would love to try it
kool coming from lutsel ke n w t..
Thats awsome to see a man your fathers age out their givener and helping out the community, I can see he's a great guy and your a great kid to be by his side. I subbed, looking forward to more video, check out my page and subb back if you like it. Nice job again.
How thick do you think the ice is?
Hi Wayne;
I am looking for a plan or a kit to build the jig that you use to walk the net under the ice. Found one a while back but lost the reference. Or if need be a source where you would buy the jig.
Great video and nice to see your Dad active in the later years!
+Wayne Dunn Well, I googled around for about an hour and did not find anything, wrong search term or something.
Thanks very much!
how do you know where the jigger is ? I definitely use GPS or some sort of unless there is another way
hellerase there's a knocker on the back of the jigger every time you pull back on the draw line , it makes a knocking sound , take two steps back from there and make your hole !! It's more difficult when it's thicker it's good to have a guy to follow it if it's windy as well!
Some ppl even use avanlance beacons to scope out the jigger
Legal if you have a license, which my father does
Where U guys by ship reck ? We have a cabin on delorand
Do you sell white fish would like to buy some
Hi. Sorry about the slow response. The net is set out from the Government Dock. My father used to have a fish camp up at the north end, on the East Side of the lake, up past East Bay - just NE from Big Island
enough to drive a car on it ?
Is this legal or just poaching ?
Legal lol.You get a license for net fishing and its only permitted on certain lakes unless you are status I believe
How can I get a hold of you I would like 1200 pounds of white fish for smoking
Is there any reason you don't use an auger?
