 How many people can say they would walk 2.1 km on foot to get to walleye? I would and do. I even had days were I walk it back and forth, drilling holes every 100 yards and checking the status in that area through trial and error. One day last week I actually walked 8 kms and lost 2 fish and came up with nadda. Is this satisfying... to most no, to me yes. This is how I get exercise and do the sport I love more then any other. I see people ripping around on quads and sure it would be quicker but what are the benefit's to walking on ice! I can think of a few!
#1 It's Exercise.
#2 It's quieter. (Im a believer that fish spook easy)
#3 On foot is much lighter on the ice. Not as much worry of going through...... but I fish areas with 6-8" minimal.
#4 It's better for the enviroment. #5 I FEEL I DID THE WORK MYSELF!

I couldn't get out on the ice for team tourney! But you did a Great job! Dedication!! I will say my favorite is trompin the river banks! Get the work out and don't even realize it until you look up and your 2km from your car and it's almost dark!!LOL That's what I did Sunday with no eye's. Trout were fun though! Smiley! MA
