How to find fish in ice fishing

First, know the water depth.

Ice fishing, I suggest you fish in familiar waters, because you know these waters better, and the most important thing is to know the water depth. When the water surface freezes, the temperature of the water layer under the ice is close to 0 degrees, and it gets warmer as it goes down. However, the water layer affected by weather temperature is only about 1 m below the ice layer, and even if the air is cold again, it will not cool down.

Second, look at the weather.

With the above theory, we can choose the depth of ice fishing according to the weather. If the weather keeps warm for several days, the ice becomes thinner and the water becomes warmer, it is necessary to fish in shallow water or shallow water. However, due to the freezing of the river, such days will not be many. So in cold weather, we can fish directly under the water, and the fish are hidden in warmer water. This situation is also the main fishing method of ice fishing.

Third, find a fish nest.

Let's not talk about shallow water fishing or shallow water fishing, just talk about this common ice fishing deep bottom. If we want to catch the deep sea, we must first find out where the fish are. This also requires us to understand the situation of this water area. The easiest places for fish to hide are lush aquatic plants, underwater culverts and underwater steep slopes. If the ice hole of ice fishing is hit here, it may be possible to pull out large and small fish.

Look for places with trees and stumps on the water. Due to the floods in summer and autumn, some rivers and ponds flooded many trees. Others have many cut stumps in the water, and some people have many big trees or branches lying in the water. There are also many crucian carp living under these trees or beside stumps.

The drier the stumps and branches, the more fish there are. Because rotting trees attract many microorganisms, bugs and shrimps, they become bait for fish. When fishing, stay close to stumps and trees, and find the deepest water next to the stumps or trees to take the bait. Winter fishing is not waiting for the fish to bite, but finding the fish to bite. If you can't catch fish in a fishing spot for 2 ~ 3 hours, you have to change fishing spots.

When fishing, you should set 2 ~ 3 nests, and catch which nest.
