Ice fishing gear
The key to embracing winter weather is discovering a new outdoor hobby that makes the cold something to eagerly anticipate. Ice fishing does just that.
It can be enjoyed with just a few pieces of equipment and there are endless opportunities throughout the state. Many anglers start out with the essentials and add more gear over time (second hand gear is a great option!). Learn what gear would make a perfect gift for beginner. [ [link removed] ]
