As much as I enjoy ice fishing. I hate the cold. I wouldn't be to heart broken if we ha an open winter. Plus the bush is dry. My grandfather always said that freeze up won't come until every bog in the bush is full.
Update.
I was just at the dealer earlier today as they prepped my ATV.
Found out the 2500 lb Superwinch is on back order so they upgraded me to the 3500 lb one for no additional cost.
Pick-up after lunch tomorrow.
Do yourself a favor @Woodsman and get a set of chains for your beautiful new toy. Last winter I had the pleasure several times riding out a few miles on my nephew's new Outlander 2-up to go ice fishing on Lake Simcoe. Not sure what model of Outlander but it had an 800 cc engine and no kidding rode like a Cadillac over the rough areas.. He had new chains for it but you know young guys was so eager to get at those famous Simcoe whities he didn't want to take the time to put them on so we were doing a lot of sliding around on the bare ice portions. I finally made him stop so we could put them on and what a difference. It gave us total control, you won't regret it just my 2 cents.
I bought it with a set of rear tire chains.
Will decide on fronts after trying without them.
For ice fishing I also added the windshield & heated handgrips/thumb warmer.

Chains on the rear will help with better traction however it will not give you the steering control or stopping power chains on all 4 wheels will give you. The windshield and heated grips are certainly a plus. Good luck ice fishing this winter.
