Ice fishers do not mourn the arrival of winter. In fact, they look forward eagerly to the day when the ice on the lake will be strong enough to support them and their gear. Weather cold enough to send most of us in to a warm fire means it is time for ice fishers to put their shacks on their sleds and head for the lake.

Ice fishing requires its devotees to go out on a frozen lake in the dead of winter. To participate in the sport a hole must first be dug in the ice through which to fish. Throughout the entire fishing expedition the hole must be kept clear of any ice which might interfere with catching fish.
