Mid-Season Ice Fishing Tips
by Bob Jensen The middle part of the ice-fishing season will soon be here. There are things we do in the middle of the season that we don’t do earlier in the year.

But even though the spring snow goose season is on the way, there’s still likely a good month or more left for icefishing – and perhaps some of the best icefishing of the season at that.
