Tips for Novice Ice Anglers From Michigan Experts
Walter Crowe and colleagues from the University of Michigan outline ice fishing basics for beginners. They advise panfish first with small holes and light lines, small baits like wigglers, meal worms, or ice flies, and a tiny bobber. For tip-ups, use live minnows to target pike and walleyes, fish shallow, and spearing requires large holes and a shanty. Decoys help lure in speared fish, with deep-water smelt fishing using small minnows or pearl buttons. Crowe stresses consulting fellow anglers, dealers, and officials for best practices.
