MAIN Sports Winter Sports Ice Fishing

Maybe ice fishing conjures up a cartoon of a lone Eskimo patiently waiting for a bite, or perhaps you've laughed over the ice fishing antics of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon in Grumpy Old Men.

Ask around, and you'll discover the ice fishing has never been more popular - especially in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, throughout New England and Canada and other parts of the planet - where family and fishing pals can put the winter doldrums on ice for a day with fun, friendly and sometimes serious ice fishing competition.

Ice fishing has enjoyed a long history in America beginning with Indians tribes on the Western Great Lakes along with examples of Alaskan and Canadian ice fishing tackle and decoys dating back thousands of years.
