Simple Gear for Ice Fishing Success

One of the things that makes ice fishing so available and accessible to everyone is that it can be enjoyed with just some very basic, simple, and inexpensive equipment. With a hand auger, a short jigging rod, a couple lures, and some bait, new anglers can be well on their way to enjoying a day on Vermont's frozen lakes and ponds, with the chance of catching a tasty meal of panfish! In this video, department fisheries biologist Lee Simard spends a day on Monkton Pond, Vermont, demonstrating the gear and techniques that can be used for a successful day ice fishing.
