Ice Fishing

Traer Bodley

Ice fishing in Iowa is one of the most popular things you can do during the winter time in Iowa. Ice fishing and even summertime fishing is a really fun thing to do. I really like going ice fishing during the winter time, yeah it might get really really cold but it is still really fun. Even when the fish aren't biting you can still enjoy time with friends and family. 

In order to go fishing when you are over the age of 16, you need to purchase a license.

One thing a lot of people get worried about is the thickness of the ice when you go ice fishing. When ice fishing you can either walk out on the eye and hope it is over 2 inches of ice, are you could buy a handheld thickness gages. 

As you can think there are a lot of different types of fish in the Mississippi. One of the most common fish caught in the northern part of the Mississippi is a bluegill being more of a tiny panfish the bluegill fish has an endless population in the Mississippi. Northern is more of a competition fish in the Mississippi.
