Introduction to Ice Fishing
Learning Objective
I can describe the basic techniques and equipment used in ice fishing.
Key Concepts
Before ice fishing, it is important to check ice thickness, have a fishing license, and dress in warm clothing.

When a flag pops up on a tip up, you should remove the tip up from the water and give the line a quick yank to set the hook.
