Trout fishing through the ice can be quite fun, if you use the proper techniques. Consider the following:

≤ Tip-ups: Certain species of trout, particularly brown trout, really gravitate to tip-ups as they linger in shallower water. Consider your depth if you do this type of fishing.

≤ Jigging: Lake trout and brown trout can be attracted easily by jigging with a spoon. For lake trout use a piece of smelt or sucker as your bait. For brown trout use the head of a minnow.
