Ice fishing

I see they had snow in SD the other day and that made me think of all the times I used to go fishing in the winter. The anticipation of the ice freezing was almost painful as it seemed to take forever for the ice to get thick enough to walk out on.
Of course like all water in the north the lakes eventually do freeze and the ice gets thick enough to put out an ice house and to drive on the ice. No big deal as it can be anywhere from 1 foot to 3 feet thick in SD and Southern MN where I fished. Even thicker if you go further north.
There are 4 or 5 pages there on ice fishing and newbie or old timer you’ll probably learn something. I know I did when I visited the site. The information was pretty good or I wouldn’t be recommending it to you.
Ice fishing is a fun family sport and it can be really cheap or you can go whole hog and it can be really expensive. For sure you don’t need all of the fishing equipment you need in the summer time. Ice rfishing can be great fun or if you find a quiet spot, just a good time to think about life and relax. Of course, hopefully the fish are biting and you don’t have that much time to sit around.
Ice fishing is challenging and if you haven’t tried it I recommend you try it at least twice.
