What is "ice fishing"?
Ice fishing is a method of fishing where fishermen catch fish through a hole cut into the ice on frozen bodies of water. The fisherman drills a hole in the ice and then lowers baited hooks or lures into the water below. Ice fishing is typically done in cold weather, and fishermen often use shelters to protect themselves from the elements. It can be done for various fish species, such as perch, walleye, or trout. Ice fishing requires patience, as the fish tend to bite more slowly in cold water.
Examples
Some ice fishing techniques involve using live bait or artificial lures to attract fish.
