Ice Fishing - Where to Find Fish
This article isn't tied in with finding a specific types of fish, however about general areas of all fish throughout the winter a very long time after a waterway has solidified over.
Most ice anglers as a rule go where others are angling, calculating the other person must catch fish where he is. Here and there you will see a bit "town" of ice angling shanties spring up in light of the fact that everybody is in that "monkey-see-monkey-do" mode. They may all call fish, yet at some point or another the chomp will back off or even stop completely. Presently what? Do you pack up your rigging and head home, or do you migrate and trust you discover more fish?
What many ice anglers don't understand is that all fish react to angling weight, and fish under ice are no special case. Another factor in fish area is "seasons". Similarly as fish in a lake move around and change areas between spring, summer, fall and winter, fish under ice accomplish something very similar from late-fall to mid-and pre-spring. Their encouraging propensities additionally change during this moving.
The "towns" referenced prior will in the end become "phantom towns" not on the grounds that the majority of the fish have been gotten, this is on the grounds that they have moved away to another area. The great ice angler will realize where to go to discover them once more, and continue getting fish.
In your mind attempt to isolate the winter into three "seasons". Early ice, midwinter ice, and pre-spring ice. In the event that you fish in a specific lake in the pre-winter, and you discover a region holding a decent measure of fish, mark that spot with GPS or on a guide, or imprint the spot in your memory utilizing shore highlights. Come back to that spot after the principal ice and chances are the fish will at present be there.
More often than not when a lake solidifies over just because, the fish will in any case be situated in a similar general territory where they were before the stop. There is no unexpected mass migration of development after the primary ice. Regardless of whether the fish are hanging out in more profound water, they will climb into shallower water to encourage. This is normally where the "shanty town" will show up. These areas are typically shallow pads close to profound water, summer weedbed territories, submerged brushy zones or spots with overflowed timber. Submerged edges with spread are perfect for holding fish during this period.
Another great spot to attempt as of now is steep drop-offs where shallow level territories dive into more profound water. The fish might organize on these drop-offs, however head up to the pads to benefit from baitfish. Despondencies in level territories will likewise hold fish.
A decent standard guideline to recall is that all fish like to be close to a type of structure, and on the off chance that you can find these kinds of regions that have a type of spread throughout the spring, summer or fall, recollect those areas with the goal that you can come back to them after the primary ice.
On the off chance that you are ice angling on a lake that you have never angled, a guide of the lake will enable you to discover the sorts of zones referenced previously.
As the winter advances, fish will in general relocate into more profound water. The hottest water in a solidified lake is at the base, and this is the place the fish will go. Their digestion backs off as their body temperatures drop, and they won't swim similarly as before to nourish. Utilize this reality furthering your potential benefit.
After some time, contingent upon the thickness of snow gathering superficially, the oxygen levels on the base will start to drop. At the point when this occurs, the fish will suspend higher off of the base. Fish will forfeit body temperature for oxygen, and they will go where they can "relax". On lakes with a great deal of vegetation, this happens sooner than on rough, hard-base lakes. Enormous lakes hold oxygen longer than littler ones. Along these lines, fish area can fluctuate a considerable amount starting with one lake then onto the next during a similar time allotment.
At the point when the snow spread starts to soften away, and the lake gets wet over the ice, we are currently in the pre-spring ice period. Liquefying snow spread permits more daylight in, warming the water and expanding the oxygen. Fish will presently start moving back up into the shallower spots, in the long run coming to their pre-generate arranging territories.
As the lake water and, therefore, the fish themselves, warm up, their digestion increments too. This implies they will eat more, and will strike at your dance, draw or live trap speedier and with more power. The closer fish get to the generate, the more vitality they have, until they are for all intents and purposes "detonating" on baitfish or whatever else that takes after nourishment.
