One of the nicest things for anglers is the arrival of warm summer days and the opportunity to wade wet. Being unencumbered by the waders that make life on the stream bearable for the other 3 seasons.

Ice fishing, more than any other time of the year is prime time to size down. When sizing down, I'm talking about lightening up the entire package. I use lighter line, smaller baits and lighter lures, be it jigs, spoons or flies. The reason is two fold. The first has to do with line detection.
