Wil Wegman
Although Wil Wegman is a regular competitor on CSFL’s Bassmania Trail and has volunteered as the Conservation and Media Director for the Ontario BASS Federation Nation, he is also an accomplished ice angler. Wil was a member of Canada’s National Team at the World Ice Fishing Championships in 1991. He taught ice fishing courses at Seneca College from 1986 to 2006 and has given seminars on the subject across Ontario. Wil has several top ten finishes in the Canadian Ice Fishing Championship and won the 2006 Perch Trap Attack on Lake Simcoe. Most recently on March 12, 2011, Wil and his son Izaak placed 1st in the MS Perch Tournament on Lake Simcoe that saw over 75 teams compete.
Wil is a prolific freelance writer with many ice fishing articles published in such magazines as: Ontario out of Doors, Outdoor Canada, Real Fishing, Big Jim’s Just Fishing and In Fisherman. He’s the fishing columnist for Lake Simcoe Living Magazine. Wil’s home lake is Simcoe and he has extensive knowledge of this, the most intensively fished inland lake in Ontario so he is often contacted for quotes about the lake and it’s fishing. Ironically, most of the fishing pressure on the lake occurs between Jan 1 and March 15th- when stats show more people fish it then the rest of the year combined! With all these anglers tossing a myriad of baits and lures down their holes, Wil has developed a finesse approach to catching this lake’s top gamefish. “These techniques would not be nearly as effective without the incredible array of lures, rods, reels, line and other tackle that HT has available for keen ice anglers like me,” says Wegman. Wil has been part of the HT Team for 15 yearse and continues to provide seminars featuring HT products to ice anglers across southern and central Ontario.
