42. I remember the first time on the ice was at George B Stevenson Dam. Kicked out some old holes and caught a few trout on corn using half a spinning rod.

22 years for me. Never missed a season. Started at about 6 years old when my family moved to Devils Lake, ND. If my dad was going fishing, I was going with. I'm 28 now and hit the ice as much as life will allow.

Sixty-four years old, been ice fishing for 45 plus. Still remember first time out. Caught rainbows on Velveeta cheese using our six-foot spinning rods. Chopped our holes with a hatchet, which worked great until the holes filled with water and we splashed ourselves wet with ice water finishing out the holes. Had no idea what we were doing.

At least 45. Moraine was still under conservation regs ie 2 bass 15 inches, 1 pike 30 inches, walleye 20 inches. I think you were only allowed 10 panfish. Guys would catch their 10 and let them lay on the ice. Said they were stunted because there were too many. Fishermans own fish management.

I’m 84 now and still going strong although it’s getting harder, I don’t pull as far as I used to. My stuff is at the door ready to go. Back in the day when you applied for your new fish licens there was a question did you ice fish last year, anybody remember that? I started ice fishing when I was 16 years old.

My friend Bill D took my son and I to "Pymie" back in 2000. I didn't catch a fish but got hooked ever since. I'm 67 and started fishing open water when I was six. But these last eighteen have been the best!!! Bring on the ICE. Lou

Wow! Don’t really know exactly when I started. Never did growing up. Didn’t start til I moved to the Poconos after college. But that was just a few times a year when I started going stir crazy in Jan or Feb. Honestly, I only started cause it was the only thing to do Outdoors after hunting season- not because I was really jacked up about fishing.
Didn’t REALLY get serious til my buddy Spider started and I started meeting guys like Chez and others on the ice. Only got a flasher 3 or 4 years ago.
I’m 53 and we moved here in ‘93 so I would say I started about 23? Years ago.

Well, tried ice fishing in New Jersey in 1954 age 14 with my Dad and his so called expert buddy! After that trip Dad and I said we would never ice fish again! WELL, I moved to Rochester NY and met my ice fishing mentor and fishin' buddy, Joe(RIP) who was an expert, a great guy and one hell of an icefisherman and he taught me in 1972 to ice fish the right way. Still at it and lovin' every minute of it. Just bought a new Nils for my 78th birthday for season 46. I've always jigged or dead sticked targeting perch and catching everything as far south as Waneta, as far east as Oneida and as far west as Braddocks Bay. Every year you can find me on Sodus Bay.Love Honeyoye , Canesus and Keuka as well. Good luck and stay safe.
