Ice Fishing

Ice fishing is one of Alaska's favorite pastimes. Using an auger, you drill a hole about 30 cm (1 foot) across through the thick ice. Then you get cozy around the hole and drop your line in. The debate about the perfect bait can easily go on all night. Because ice fishing is often not just about the fishing, it's also about giving sitting around and drinking beer a purpose ☺. And if you like, you can light a small fire next to the hole.
