Dave Genz of Clam Outdoors is known and respected throughout the ice fishing world regardless of where you live or what products you favor using
What works well: Wide contact areas that spread pressure instead of pinching one small spot Non-slip padding between clamp and cooler wall Simple hardware you can check and retighten without specialty tools What doesn't: Tiny clamp jaws on thick rotomolded coolers Cheap straps that loosen once wet Tall racks without bracing , especially if you're carrying several rods If a strap system shifts when you shake the cooler by hand, it will shift more on plane
One species, Smenispa irregularis, has been spotted in Australian waters
I like flies that are simple to tie and that catch tons of fish
The areas close to the stream, has good rocks, seaweed, and makes for a good shelter
Chasing these powerful fish has something to offer everyone, be it the excitement of the capture or the peacefulness of being on the lake
