Every year more than two million northerners take to the frozen lakes of the northland to indulge a passion for ice fishing. This beautifully wrought book probes and celebrates their quirky world through striking photographs and thoughtful, engaging essays. A fun, informative, and at times meditative read that will hook anglers and non-anglers alike.
