Ice fishing pole for backpacking?
« on: August 04, 2014, 09:08:25 PM »
I'm not much of a fisherman. Tried a couple times and have caught 1 fish and I know next to nothing about fishing. I usually carry a collapsible fishing pole with me if I'm hiking or backpacking up to a lake and was wondering if using those short ice fishing poles would work. I'm looking at ways to lighten my load and every little bit helps. Is this a dumb idea or would it be fine to go this route? Also what type of lures etc should I bring on high back country lakes. I have a small 6 compartment plastic carrier for hooks and such. Keep it simple, I'm a newby  :chuckle:

Thanks Tony
