You could use a ice pole, you can use that for the rivers too.
Fly gear is my choice, plus mono line doesn't float as well as a floating fly line.
I do not sit right over my fly, which at 30' I guess you could, but I generally have quite a bit of line out in front of me.
The Brian Chan technique of using a fast sinking line with a fly and dropping it down then slow retrieve is also reminiscent of ice fishing and it too could be done with ice fishing gear I suppose.
There is a lot of similarity in all types of fishing..
Again, I only own fly gear and I only use it, so this is just another option for those that do have the gear and do not feel up to trolling. Is this not coming through on my post?
