flag Warm BC weather forces ice fishing derby to switch to boats due to unsafe, thin ice.

flag Unseasonably warm temperatures in British Columbia’s East Kootenay region have forced the annual ice fishing derby to switch to boat-based fishing due to unsafe, thin ice. flag Lakes like the one near Moyie showed open water just 30 feet from shore, with unstable, rotten ice making it too dangerous for traditional ice activities. flag The event, typically drawing 200 participants, is now expected to see only 70 to 80. flag Environment Canada confirmed 17 communities broke daily high temperature records, and wildlife such as elk and bears are appearing earlier than usual. flag Officials warn of ongoing risks despite no reported incidents.
