What is the Best Dramatic Ice Fishing Movie?

[Alpineway]

Now this movie is NOT about technique or water structure or fishing equipment- it is, however, about a man (played by Troy Garity) who can HEAR fish & is consequently, THE best ice fisherman in Minnesota in this fictitious movie called Milwaukee, Minnesota.  There is a lot of trouble in his life BUT he can still catch the most fish & he gets lucky.  Enjoy it- at least you'll be warm whilst watching it.  It has my vote for the best ice fishing tale.  Grumpy Old Men is fun too.

I never heard about that movie, grumby old men was good

The movie is what is called an indie movie- meaning independent produced - therefore, it generally doesn't get wide media exposure as well as a lot of paid advertising.  It is a bit quirky- just like us ice fisherman! Netflix has it & perhaps your local library.

Remember "The Christmas Story"?... (You'll shoot your eye out)...  Well.. there was a 2nd movie, Christmas Story 2 where there is some ice fishing.  Ralphie's old man says turkey is too expensive, so he goes ice fishing to catch Christmas dinner.  Still, it wasn't as good as Grumpy Old Men.

Hypothermia is probably my fav (of course it's also the only one i've seen).

First day we can take the perm out the kids always want to watch Grumpy Old Men one the ice.  Going to have to check out the other ones now too though.
