If the temperature drops low enough, the water in lakes begins to freeze. A thick layer of ice creates the right conditions for ice fishing. This popular winter sport is similar in many ways to regular fishing. Both sports require lures, small suspending objects that look like food to a fish, and hooks attached to a rope. And just like regular fishing, ice fishing requires skill and patience. It also provides an opportunity to talk to friends or to enjoy quiet time by yourself. However, ice fishing involves more work and equipment than regular fishing. To fish in water, you simply need a fishing stick, lure, and a good place. Ice fishing must be done on a layer of ice at least ten centimetres thick. Ice fishers use a drill to make a hole about twenty centimetres wide through the ice. Ice fishers also need special clothes, including a thick winter coat, a hat, and gloves. Many ice fishers build shelters to protect themselves from the cold. Some shelters even have ovens and satellite TVs. Shelters look like little huts.
