[quote BruceSmith]"
Admittedly I am a neophyte when it comes to ice fishing, although I do fish quite a bit in cold weather. I was just wondering, how long does a wet trout pulled through a hole in the ice, take before it freezes or stiffens in -5 degree air temp.? How many were laid on the ice to get the hook out? Did they stick to the ice? How many of those 30 fish lived? I guess we will never know, considering if they did die, they did it under the ice.[/quote]
Considering most people fish in tents with a heater in those kind of conditions and therefore the temperature is much higher than -5 degrees, most fish probably do just fine.
