An icy extravaganza

We’re just outside of Brainerd, Minnesota (northern United States), for the Ice Fishing Extravaganza on Gull Lake. Each year from late January on, more than 10,000 people will come out to catch as many fish as they can—mostly walleye and northern pike, but all fish species are eligible. The contest is organised and run by volunteers exclusively, and 100 percent of the proceeds—around $150,000—goes to local charities.

The practice of ice fishing started years ago when Native American tribes would use it to gather food for the long, harsh winters. But today, ice fishing is a popular winter activity in the state of Minnesota, referred to as the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Some anglers even trick out modern-day ice shanties with big-screen TVs, underwater cameras, sonar fish-finders, and bathrooms with hot showers, making it easy to spend entire weekends out on the lake, warm and dry.
