Ice Fishing Accessories - The More The Better!

Try going ice fishing with the normal fishing equipment and you will understand the need for special accessories and equipment. Ice fishing accessories include equipment that assist the angler in the process of locating, catching, storing the catch and even keeping himself warm during the whole process.

Beginning with simple accessories such as special ice cutters that are necessary for ice fishing. An angler needs an ice saw to cut a hole in the ice and get to the water under it. A small hammer and a chisel may also be useful if the ice is thick. Then the angler will need something to sit on such as a fishing stool perhaps with a back rest for the small of the back. Ice fishing, as the name suggests, is a sport that is enjoyed in the cold i.e. if you can keep yourself warm enough to enjoy it.

Here is where one needs some ice fishing gear that includes special clothes that will keep the angler warm during the fishing trip. This gear will include windcheaters, thermal wear, spiked shoes to prevent the angler slipping on the ice and of course balaclava and gloves. In addition to keeping warm by bundling up there is also the option of taking some hot drinks along - or for the better part of the brews some brandy will do just fine to cut the chill from the cutting wind that will be blowing the angler away.
