Ice Fishing

It’s winter! The frozen lakes are full of Wakasagi Fish, Let’s learn how to do ice fishing.

1. Drill a hole in the ice using a drill
2. Drop the bait down and adjust the fishing line
3. Move the reel up and down to lure the fish
4. Pull up the fishing line once you feel a tug on the bait or reel
5. Unhook the fish and that’s your first catch!

After fishing, you can cook fresh fish tempura at the place.
Enjoy winter in Tohoku!
