Essential Ice Fishing Gear to Stay Warm and Comfortable
Regardless of location, all anglers know that the right gear, make the trip that much more fun. While it would be great to have all of the latest and greatest in ice fishing gear, not everyone can afford that, but the essentials are one thing that everyone can agree on.
With that, here is a list of the must haves for ice anglers to bring on that next trip on the ice:
- Ice Fishing Apparel:Layer up, did we say layers? Yes, we did. Always dress for the worst case scenario, there's nothing worse than getting out on the ice and being cold because you didn't layer up. We recommend you start with a set of thermals from head to toe, then add another layer of fleece, an insulated flannel or wool should be your next layer and then finish it up with your outer waterproof layer. Don't forget to layer your feet as well. We recommend at least 2 layers before putting on your insulated boots. Although it's winter, the sun can be blinding on the snow and ice, so don't forget the sunglasses or tinted goggles. We personally prefer to bring along heated gear, including heated socks, pants and a jacket.
- Ice Fishing Equipment: There's nothing worse than getting out on the ice in the middle of the lake and realizing your forgot something as important as the ice auger. Hand augers are great for thinner ice and they're lighter but if the ice is over 7 or 8 inches, you'll want to use a gas or battery powered auger to get through that thick ice. Ice Flashers should be on your checklist as well. Don't forget to bring along a life jacket (you never know), rope, a first aid kit, as well as ice picks or shovels to help you clear the ice once you've made it through the ice.
- Ice Fishing Rods and Reels:Choose your rods and reels based on the fish species you are targeting. Make sure you choose the correct rod and reel to ensure a successful trip on the ice.
- Hook & Line: Seems obvious but sometimes anglers forget the basic items needed to catch fish. Make sure to upgrade your hooks and use a thicker line of higher quality than what you normally use during spring and summer fishing.
