Reading the Ice
NCLA has reposted this article. Click here to read the original article.
Weedlines, windbreaks, current lines -- these luxuries enjoyed by the fair-weather fisherman aren't part of the ice-fishing equation. On the hardwater, success and failure hinge on the ability to determine what lies beneath.
By Ron Hustvedt Jr.
Is it possible for an angler to "read" the ice as effectively as he or she can read open water? It's an interesting question that many ice-anglers have never considered. The simple answer is yes. It is possible to read the ice. You can look at that large blanket of ice as a clean slate or a thin veneer hiding a bustling underworld.
Granted, reading open water is much easier. Weedlines, windbreaks and current breaks are visible in the open-water season, but these features tend to disappear in the winter. But even lakes caught firmly in winter's hardwater grasp can be evaluated -- and understood -- from an angling perspective if you're willing to pay attention to detail.
