Ice Fishing

Ice fishing is the practice of catching fish through a hole cut or drilled in the ice covering a frozen lake or river, using techniques ranging from a simple hook-and-line jigged by hand to tip-ups that signal a bite, and sometimes fished from a heated ice shanty. It is popular in northern regions of North America, Scandinavia, and Russia as both a subsistence activity and a winter recreational and social pastime. Enthusiasts value it for the quiet solitude of being out on frozen water as well as the camaraderie of fishing derbies and shanty communities.
