As the winter grows colder, the nature prepares a new special treat for dedicated anglers, placing an opaque ice screen between the fishers and the fish.
Ice fishing is quite peculiar.
Multitudes of local residents and visitors go out on the ice in Vladivostok, for fun or sustenance. On some days, solid ice on less distant bays around the city looks like a busy main street. In fact it is not so. Shoals of fish tend to move around under the ice in search of food and fleeing predators. Anglers often have to follow the fish, walking around and making new holes in the ice.
