Ice Fishing Just Getting Started TherecentcoldweatheracrossIdahodoesn’tmeantheend of fishing until spring. For many, the best fishing of theyearisjustgettingstarted. Idaho offers some excellent ice fishing for trout and yellowperch,andattimes,manyotherspeciesincludingcrappie,bluegill,kokaneeandmore. Ice fishing is great for families looking to get outside and break up the wintertime doldrums. Plus, ice fishing hasitsadvantages. For one, ice fishing doesn’t require a large investment in tackle.Mostoftheequipmentandtackle-pole,jigs,baitand ladle - can be carried in a five-gallon bucket, which doubles as a handy seat. The only specialized equipment neededisaniceauger.Augersarerelativelyinexpensiveand available at most sporting goods stores. Generally,where ice fishing equipment is sold, someone can provide specific information about where to go, what to use and howtodoit. Anotherwayforanovicetolearnthesportistorespect-fully approach other anglers fishing nearby. A few min-utesoffriendlyconversationandobservationcanoftenbeenoughtogetyoustartedintherightdirection. Fishing methods vary, but jigging can be an ef-fective technique. The slight movement created byslowlybringing the lureorbaitup fromthebottomaboutone foot thenallowing it to settlebackdown

Ifnothingbites,movetoanotherhole.Morningsandeve-nings are often the most productive fishing times, with someslowerperiodsinthemiddleoftheday. Sowhenis icesafe?There isnoabsoluteanswer,butthickness is not the only consideration. Ice appearance,age, temperature, and snow or slush coverage all influ-encesitsstrength. Anglersshouldalwaysdecideforthemselvesifitissafeandneverassumetheiceisthickenoughwithoutcheck-ing it first. A general guide for proper ice thickness is a minimum of 4-inches of new, clear ice for individualswalkinganddrillingahole,and6to10inchesforgroupsandsnowmobiles.Itisverycommonforicedepthtobehighlyvariableonalakesobecarefulwhenexploringdif-ferent fishing areas. Rules for ice fishing are simple, yet slightly different than general fishing for public safety and crowding con-cerns.
