What to know

Now that you have all the necessary tools and clothing, what do you need to know to catch fish? *Fishing regulations [ [link removed] ]* are a great place to start. Fishing regulations include information like:


* Who needs a fishing license?
* How many of each species can you keep?
* What size fish need to be to keep?
* Whether live bait is allowed in the water you are fishing.
* How many rods are you allowed to use at once?

Knowing what fish species you want to catch is crucial to success on the ice. The species you target will determine where you should start fishing and what lure you should use. Visit your local sporting goods store for information on what lures have been working lately and where to start. You can also use our interactive fishing map to see which species inhabit a waterbody. 

We have a lot of safety equipment on our packing list, but sometimes, knowledge is the most important safety tool. Watch this *helpful video [ [link removed] ]* for tips on telling if ice is safe to fish on.

For more information before heading out onto the ice, watch *this [ [link removed] ]*.
