Travel Tidbits - Top Ice Fishing Destinations

 It’s difficult to enjoy your boat during the winter when the waters you generally love to navigate are filled with giant expanses of ice. But if fishing is your game, don’t let that stop you from enjoying your second favorite pastime (after boating). You don’t have to give up fishing just because your favorite lake is frozen. Ice fishing lakes are everywhere.

Ice fishing has been around as long as water has been freezing, stomachs have been grumbling, and humans have been making fishing hooks from shells. The sport has undoubtedly come a long way since those early beginnings at least 11,000 years ago, but the goal is primarily the same. While not so necessary for survival anymore, it certainly provides a way to make the most of the cold weather while enjoying the outdoors, and maybe even coming home with some bragging rights.

Boatmart is reviewing some of the top ice fishing lakes in the county so you can wet a line even if your fishing boat is in storage for the season. Of course, most of these locations are not frozen over year-round, so check for the right conditions. And while we can’t guarantee you’ll catch anything at these spots, you’ll at least have a scenic view while you’re trying.
