Ice fishing

Ice fishing is the practice of catching fish through openings in ice covering lakes, rivers, or other waters, using lines, hooks, and often short rods.

Ice fishing rod: A short fishing rod designed for presenting bait and controlling a line through an opening in ice. Its compact length suits fishing directly below a small ice hole.
Yellow perch: A freshwater fish native to North America, valued as a food fish and common in inland lakes. Perch often gather in schools and are a frequent ice-fishing target.
Ice safety: Practices for reducing risks when traveling or working on frozen water. Ice thickness and quality determine whether reaching a fishing spot is safe.
Angling: The sport or practice of catching fish with a hook, line, and usually a rod. Ice fishing is a seasonal form of angling defined by fishing through ice.
Tip-up: A device that suspends bait beneath ice and signals a strike by raising a flag. It lets an angler monitor a baited line while fishing elsewhere.
Walleye: A large freshwater fish native to North America, known for its reflective eyes and low-light vision. Anglers commonly pursue walleye around dawn, dusk, and underwater structure.
Cold-water immersion: The rapid loss of body heat and other physiological effects caused by immersion in cold water. A breakthrough into the water can become life-threatening before rescue.
Fly fishing: Angling that uses an artificial fly, a specialized line, and casting techniques to catch fish. Fly fishing usually presents a lure on open water rather than through an ice hole.
Ice auger: A hand-powered or motorized tool that drills holes through ice. It makes the openings through which lines and fish pass.
Northern pike: A large predatory freshwater fish native to the Northern Hemisphere. Tip-ups and large bait are often used to target pike beneath ice.
