ice fishing, whats the appeal?

[fishjon]

I flyfished during the winter for years. After a particularly cold day on the madison having to suck on my ice guides every cast I thought, "There has to be a better way." Sitting in a nice tent with a big heater blowing on me watching fat 2#-4# lakers or cuts chasing my tube jig around on my sonar turned out for me to be the better way. Plus fishing at night is just as effective. When I get off work at three the day is still relatively young but it is almost dark. All I have to do is hang a lantern in my ice fishing tent and it is light for as long as I want.
