Ice Fishing may be most popular in Finland, but there's plenty of cold weather in the U.S. and ice fishing abounds from New England to Montana beneath frozen lakes, where perch, northern pike, crappie and walleye are frequently caught by hearty Ice Fishing anglers.
Ice Fishing requires some basic equipment, including an ice saw or augur for cutting a hole in the ice and a skimmer to remove slush and newly formed ice after you cut the hole. Small light fishing rods are suggested.
Some of the best places in the U.S. for Ice Fishing include Houghton Lake in Michigan, Bass Lake in Wisconsin and Forrest and Gull Lakes in Minnesota where ice fishing contests are held.

Ice Fishing anglers traditionally fished with live bait, including waxworms and shiner minnows, but today many use artificial lures, including jigs, spoons and worms. www.scientificfishing.com's Walking Worm is the most popular worm lure available and it works under the ice as well as warm water. The Walking Worm is based on patented technology that traps air between tail segments, causing it to curl like a live worm. It moves realistically and comes in a variety of colors that work well in cold water when the fish swim slower and react to bright colors. Try the Walking Worm in chartreuse, watermelon seed and electric blue for your best Ice Ice Fishing action. |
