About this title

Synopsis

Frank R. Richards first ice fished when he was in his thirties, and he’s been doing it ever since. Three decades later, he’s compiled his experiences into an easy-to-read introduction to ice fishing techniques, clothing, locations, and safety. Learn about finding fish under the ice with depth maps. Find out the best way to use tip ups, how to jig, and choose shelters. Enjoy the vibrant color photography peppered throughout the guide that illustrates, instructs, and inspires you to get out onto the ice.

Being prepared is essential to enjoying the experience. Read Richards’s advice on how to organize gear and transport the necessary equipment to the fishing grounds. Capitalize on his experience with tips, such as choosing fishing locations close to home, which makes the excursion much easier and allows you to spend more time fishing than driving.

Whether you have been at it a while, are a beginner, or are just considering trying it, this how-to guide will help you have a higher quality experience and be able to enjoy the peace and relaxation that ice fishing provides. Once you finish the book, it’ll be time to catch some fish!

About the Author

Frank R. Richards is a retired statistical programmer and analyst with lifelong interests in fishing, canoeing, and writing. Retirement provides him the opportunity to finally write books about the outdoors. The positive response to his first, A Guide to Wilderness Canoe Fishing, has led to a second, An Introduction to Ice Fishing.

Currently living in Vassalboro, Maine, Richards is the president of a lake association and is active promoting techniques for maintaining good water quality, particularly the restoration of sea-run alewives.
