Surveillance of people ice fishing is inherently challenging. Staying still in frigid temperatures while peering through a spotting scope or binoculars can test the mettle of the hardiest of game wardens. The anglers, on the other hand, are moving about, tending traps or cutting new holes and moving lines. They may even have an ice fishing shack or a fire on shore. Hot lunches are common. It is safe to say they are generally fairly comfortable. ~ Jim Fahey
