Ice fishing is carried out on a frozen body of water. The ice fishing gear the fishermen may use is either fishing lines or spears and they have to make a hole in the body of ice in order to gain access to the unfrozen water underneath the ice. The sitting position is preferred for ice fishing too, as the fishermen can stay either on special stools or directly on the ice. Some fishermen have made this activity even more pleasurable as they have built cabins of wood around the opening which are heated and equipped with bunk beds so that they could also take a bit of rest.

Ice Fishing is very popular especially throughout the icy areas on our world. Some countries where it has become a hobby during free time are the European Northern ones like Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Norway, Russia and even Germany. The Great popularity levels are reputed by ice fishing in the North of the United States, as well as in Canada and Alaska.

Getting into more details about the fishing gear used, we may realize that it is pretty different from other types of fishing in that it has become rather specialized. A angling line or a spear would surely prove useless in such kind of recreation if you do not have an ice saw or a chisel at hand to begin with. Remember that an opening in the ice is required first and foremost. Though despite the hole the freezing process is unstoppable, therefore most fishermen additionally get a skimmer with them to remove the freshly formed ice layer. Most people also rely on a heater not only for their sakes but also for keeping the area around the hole warm enough to avoid letting more ice be formed. This is the reason that wood huts and cabins which retain this warmth inside usually are held in high esteem by those performing this activity.

Ice fishing is based on three different methods, each with its specifically designed tools. The first one relies on the use of small fishing rods that are not heavy but have lures or baits that are small again and very colorful. The second makes use of tip-ups and they are very useful when you are not interested in catching a lot of fish over a longer period of time. Plus last, there’s spear ice fishing for which you need a larger hole and fish decoys.

No matter for which of the three you go, we can compare nowadays success of these fishermen’s activity with that of long ago ice fishing. It appears that these days, sonars make fish detection piece of cake. Presently fishermen will drill about One hundred holes every day in case they want a lot of game and have so much better results than those of their predecessors’ who relied on just one hole and waited for the fish to come by.
