Here is some tips on Ice Fishing Etiquette which will help improve the Ice Fishing Experience..
1: Pick up your trash - Simple one, but we all hate to see a load of left fishing line and cans of beer left behind. Leaving your crap shows a lack of respect for the environment and disregard for other ice fisherman etc.
2: Parking up next to another fisherman - Now this rule depends on a few factors. If your the sort of person that likes to take the time to greet other guys fishing and ask if there catching and what’s working, Cool. Then there is no harm in asking politely if you can park up near to them. The wrong way is to say nothing and just start fishing right next to someone without any regard for the other guy who might want some solitude. Either way don’t go any nearer than 40 feet, that really is close enough, leave the guy room enough to take a wizz!!.
3. Noise - Again this is down to considering other guys fishing, having fun is fine but to much noise is annoying to anyone else nearby.
4. Drill your own holes - Before you take an existing augured hole just have a look round to make sure a guy isn’t drilling for a preferred depth, then going back to his favourite hole. He doesn’t want to find you fishing in a hole he wants to then use after drilling it.
