Ice Fishing Tip - Bring a Compass

By A. Sayward Lamb

Ice Fishing Tip:  Be sure to take a compass with you when you go out on a lake ice fishing. Why? In case you get caught in a snow squall and cannot see the shoreline, when you are ready to leave. Be sure to read the compass when you head out for your destination on the lake, and to get back simply reverse the compass reading. This should bring you back close to your starting point.
