Winter fishing: the first ice presages the begging of a new fishing season. Winter fishing is a real holiday for certain fishing lovers. Besides, winter fishing doesn’t yield to summer fishing neither in passion nor catch, on the contrary, it is increasingly gaining its fans. You may notice how many people in warm clothes go to a pond early winter morning. 

In Belarus the first ice appears usually in late November, early December. You have to be very careful. If you have little experience and you are unaccompanied, it would be better not to go on the ice. Forest lakes freeze first, than bodies of water freeze deeper and deeper.

With the first ice you can fish at shallow depths up to a meter, thus you may go to the mentioned above forest lakes without risking. But don’t forget to prepare for winter fishing properly in order to enjoy and not to become disappointed.
