Hey Guys

Today, I would like to talk a little bit about ice fishing. Having lived in Northern British Columbia I have experienced the cold of winter this time of year with temperatures being on average -10 to -15 Celsius (15 to 5 Fahrenheit). For those of you who have not lived in the northern region this causes most of the lakes in the region to be covered in a thick chunk of ice. Many fisherman cannot wait for the ice to thaw so instead they drill a hole in the ice and drop a line. I have heard of people catching fish on worms, corn and even hot dogs. Some people go out and buy a small ice fishing rod with is around 2 feet in length. Others just use a small stick with fishing line tied to it. Many people use snowmobiles on the frozen lakes and make fires to keep themselves warm. Some even purchase special ice fishing huts or build one themselves. Overall ice fishing is a great way to spend a cold winter day. However, please do not go on ice that is too thin and please be careful as too much ice fishing can make it hard for the lake to maintain its fish population.

Please feel free to comment and/or post your ice fishing story or question to the forum.
Bye for now
