Frigid Ice-Fishing Forecast

The forecast is looking favorable for ice fishing with a big chill on tap for New Year’s Day and the first week of 2014. Before you make plans to ring in the New Year with traps, tip-ups and jigging sticks, remember to buy your 2014 state freshwater fishing license, brush up on your ice safety, and check out our tackle shop locator for shops that cater to ice fishermen.  Good luck, and share your photos and reports with us at photos@onthewater.com – we’ll post them in our weekly Fishing Forecast, updated every Thursday.
