ice fisher
Winter hole catcher
An ice fisher is a person who fishes through holes cut in frozen lakes or rivers.
The activity requires specialized gear—augers to drill through ice, shelters for warmth, and tip-ups to signal bites.
Ice fishers gathered on the lake before dawn.
Also called ice fisherman, though ice fisher is gender-neutral.
