Minnesota Ice Fishing

DNR magazine explores the allure of ice fishing

What lures thousands of Minnesotans from the comfort and warmth of their homes and onto an ice-covered lake to peer down a hole for hours? Answers abound in the Jan.-Feb. issue of Minnesota Conservation Volunteer, which explores the gear, techniques, and camaraderie that make ice fishing a favorite and still-booming Minnesota sport.

Through captivating photographs, feature stories, essays, and useful how-to information, the Conservation Volunteer’s Jan.-Feb. issue looks at how and why Minnesotans practice this wintertime tradition. “Let’s Go Ice Fishing!” tells youngsters how to get started on their own ice-fishing adventure.

These stories and more are available free to Minnesotans in the DNR’s award-winning Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine, which is supported by reader donations.
