The lake where I fish has finally opened for ice fishing.
There is a guide that rents a tent and gear for 40 bucks a day.
I think I will try it this year.
Any tips?
I will be targeting pike and rainbows
Dress warm

There's nothing wrong with a tent, but it kinda takes something from the experience. Ice fishing is at its best when the sun is shining and it's calms.
>Any tips
Use thick line, there's nothing worse than snapping the line when ice fishing.

The biggest fish I could hope to catch is about a 50 inch pike.
Providing I use braid or steel leaders , what pound test should I be using?

A tent is more adventurous than a hut.

15 lb braid should be more than enough use a leader ontop of it for other dishes

>has a lake nearby for ice fishing
As a sweaty Australian, I am extremely fucking jelly. I wish I was nice and cold in an ice fishing hut right now.

Bring lots of beer, it is what ice fishing is for.
