"Jiggling" for Trout

Spring is a wonderful time for camping because the days are long and warm. Many families pack their sleds and travel to favourite places at Imaryuk, like Ikinilik, for spring fishing.

Ikinilik is a good place for spring fishing because a current keeps the ice from getting too thick, so that it is easy to chop through.
