O f the few ‘ "go od " things that come
fn*in suh freezing weather. tm*sl would
agree that not hasing to moss the lawn
probably heads the list Next in line,
at least as far as mans eastern Oregon
sportsmen land sportswomen, and
sport skids) are concerned, would have
to he ice fishing
l
On r)« * cmhtr 29. the repon from
W
a t e r A . t l£ le r s
Strattons Sto>re was that the ice on Uni
t> la k e, just one o f the mans popular
eastern Oregon stiff water fishing
spots, remained a hit thin for most
pulse rates, though a dauntless few had already ventured out
Given the buoyant properties o f ice, it lakes somewhat less to support
anglers than most teel comfortable with, it has been said that three or four
indies o f clear, solid ice arc sufficient to safely support an adult, and that
you can dnvc a car (if you're that cra/v i on 12 inches or im*re Nonetheless,
it’ s hard to have a good time (much less concentrate on fishing) if you're
worried about falling through, so it's best to wait for a heavier cover if
the present thickness makes you skittish
Cracking or groaning sounds from underfoot have sent more than one
would be ice angler into orbit, with re entry scheduled for anywhere in
the vicinity o f the nearest shoreline In below freezing temperatures, these
sounds are usually the result o f the ice cover actually expanding and becom
ing thicker as it continues to freeze Still, no nutter how thick or solid
the ice, it is always wise to include a 30-foot length o f rope in your par
tv's arsenal o f equipment
On the subject o f equipment, ice fishing often presents special situations
unique to this particular pursuit, which in turn demands specialized gear
i much o f which has not been readily available) One ompany. Berkley,
Inc . has apparently taken the needs of ice fishermen to heart with the re
cent introduction o f a family o f products designed expressly for cold
weather anglers
Nylon monofilament lines, for example, tend to get stiff and brittle in
frigid weather, and the resulting coils can cause line snarling and make
light bites (the norm with ice fishing) difficult to detect To rectify this
problem. Bcrkely announces its new Trilene Cold Weather fishing line,
designed tor use in temperatures ranging from sub zero to 45 degrees
Available in strengths from I to 17 pound lest, the line is said to main
tain maximum limpness and strength in cold weather conditions
Also from Berkley are (heir new Northern fates ice rods, available in
casting and spinning models Sporting ultrasensitive, 100 percent graphite
blanks, they come in a variety o f actions in lengths from 24 to *6 inches
f or the trout and panfish o f eastern Oregon. Berkley I’ K Director Michael
f ine suggests a 30 inch stick with a medium or ultra light action
Last year Berkley's moldablc, scented. Power Bait in crappie, panfish
and trout formulas took the angling world bv storm I his writer fisher
man enjoyed a marked increase in success on crappie by tipping my |igs
with the Power Bait designed tor that species and no. I'm not on Berklcv's
payroll For 1990, the company has added several new Power Baits to
their lineup the miniature marshmallow shaped Power Nuggets and the
salmon egg shaped Power F.ggs are designed tor trout, while their tough,
maggot like Power Wigglcrs arc said to be effective tor crappie and pan
fish All of the Power Baits mentioned, the company claims, are ideally
suited for ice fishing
Berkley says their Neoprene fishing gloyes, much like those used bv
cold water divers, provide the ice angler a good feel ot his equipment
without sacrificing warmth or water resistance
But regardless o f how well equipped and warmly dressed they are, and
no matter how well the fish bite, many will complain they re |ust not suited
for ice fishing Still, even they must agree it sure beats mow mg the lawn
