You've got to be hardy to be an ice fisherperson. It's not like any of the other winter sports where you stay warm because you're always in motion. No, these folks sit or stand, barely moving, for hours. I don't know how they do it. And it's rather solitary as well. So not only do you need to tolerate the cold, but you'd best be content with your own company. Takes a special kind of person, I guess.
