Learn about the basics and nuances of ice fishing with library staff member and pro ice fisherman Scott Olson. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, there will be information for all.

With a large number of lakes to choose from as well as species of fish, sometimes it can be hard to decide where to go to and what to bring to have the best chance at catching fish through the ice.  But resources, both online and in physical form, are available to help anglers narrow down that decision and make better educated guesses for where to start drilling holes as well as ways to stay efficient and mobile while on the hunt.  Come to the library, bring your questions, and listen as library staff member and pro ice fisherman Scott Olson discusses ways to help be more efficient on the ice!
