Ice-Fishing in Washington
What is Ice Fishing?
Ice fishing is a sport whereby people catch fish with lines and fish hooks (or spears) from an opening in the frozen ice. It is usually on a lake or pond. Ice fishermen often sit on stools in the open or in a heated cabin on the ice.
How do you fish in the Ice?
This is a great piece from Icefishingsecrets.com.
“After many unsuccessful ice fishing expeditions, I was asking myself a lot
of questions. It seemed unusual at the time, but I one day wondered if the
rules for hunting would somehow help with ice Fishing. The rules were obvious
to hunters, but no fisherman I had ever met even mentioned that kind of thing
in relation to fish.
So I hit the books.
I decided that I would understand how fish think, and see if I could
increase my chances of success. Being a fairly studious type of person, it
didn’t take me long to devour every book I could get my hands on from the local
bookstore and the library. Within a week I knew more about Pike than 99.9% of
the world’s population. And guess what happened on the next fishing trip…”

Nice post I Must say that Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife. Fishing for trout, perch, bluegill, and crappie through the ice on eastern and northcentral Washington lakes can be fun and productive.
