Ice fishing

[fishnate]

Ya just have to remember everyone has an opinion and a method that works for them, but may or may not work so well for you. For instance, I've been ice fishing in Utah for about 34 years and I've gone through a lot of the suggested things written above and I don't subscribe to much of it any more. I don't use spring bobbers or Rat Finkes and I don't use bait unless I absolutely have to. Not to say the suggestions aren't any good, but they may not work out the best for your situation. For one, no one has even asked what your target species is. If you're targeting planter trout, your gear selection will be different than for 20"+ trout; rainbows different than lake trout. If you're targeting panfish, it's going to require different gear and/or techniques than for trout. It depends greatly on what you want to target.

So what are you going after? If anything that bites is the answer, then just about anything should work for you. [cool]
