Ice-fishing Tip: No matter how cool it looks on TV, don’t use your shoulders and arms to set the hook. It’s a wrist thing. It’s a snap of the wrist in fact. From Fishandgame.com.
How thick should the ice be? Numerous unofficial sources recommend 3 inches, I am thinking 6 is safer.
Keeping snagged fish on the Chilkat River is not only illegal…but not cool.
