Fishing for them is kind of like riding a Unobtainium bike in flip-flops to get ice cream. You are going to win any prizes, you look silly as hell but you have a grin a mile wide
An ultra light spin reel with my ice fishin' rod, under 18" long (I think). I'll use 1 or 2lb ice line as it's a bit tougher. One or two small jigs, spoons & bare hooks for live worms/ grubs/ flys with a balsa wood "pencil" bobber for still water. You'd be surprised how well this'll cast with a tiny float/ bobber. All wrapped in a bit of denim to protect the hooks, weighs next to nuthin' & takes very little space!
Foil cooked or pan fryed on the stove.
