  • Ice Fishing Chapter
    S E C T I O N INTRODUCTION9 TO ICE FISHING Not only is fishing a great summertime activity, it’s also a fun winter pastime. Ice fishing is a great way to spend those cold winter days. Many species of fish can be caught through the ice. For certain species, ice fishing can often be better than open-water fishing. The main species sought by ice anglers are pike, pickerel, walleye, panfish (sunfish, yellow perch and crappie), and rainbow, brown and lake trout. Fishing access can often be better during the winter. Anglers normally limited to shore during open-water seasons can access an entire lake, as long as the ice is thick enough. Beginners’ Guide to Freshwater Fishing 75 INTRODUCTION TO ICE FISHING WHAT GEAR WILL YOU NEED? Ice Augers and Spud Bars In order to ice fish, you must first cut a hole through the ice. This can be done with either a spud bar or an ice auger.

  • Angler Guide
    Beneath the Ice ce fishing on lakes or reservoirs can provide some Imuch-needed outdoor adventure during those long winter months. Yellow perch and rainbow trout are the most common species pursued beneath the ice, and a number of Idaho waters have both species in abundance . Ice is generally safe for walking when 3 to 4 inches thick; if you are venturing out on snow machines or ATVs, wait for 8 to 10 inches of clear, solid ice. Ice fishing with a partner is a good idea, particularly during early and late winter. While specialized ice fishing gear is available, any rod and reel will suffice for the casual ice angler. Terminal tackle should include an assortment of jigs, glow hooks and ice flies, in combination with baits such as maggots, worms or cut bait. Ice Fishing Equipment Mike Demick, IDFG Ice Auger Kids and ice fishing - they go together! To get started, drill a series of test holes. Rules Ice Fishing Rod dictate that no hole may be larger than 10 inches in diameter for safety’s sake. Most Idaho waters allow for up to 5 lines per angler (when the bite is on, it gets busy!). Try different locations at varying depths until you find fish. Perch generally are found near the bottom, whether the water is 10 feet deep or 40, Ladle while trout tend to be found closer to the surface. Jigging can be a very effective ice fishing technique. To jig, drop the bait to the bottom, then reel up approximately 2 feet of line.

  • Archery and Sport Fishing Quick Reference Guide Manufacturer
    Archery and Sport Fishing Quick Reference Guide Who is liable for the Federal Excise Tax (FET)? IRC 4161 imposes an excise tax on the sale of sport fishing equipment, bows, archery equipment and arrow shafts. This tax is imposed on the manufacturers (a term which includes producers and importers) of these products. In order to determine the proper taxpayer we must understand how the code defines these terms Manufacturer: Regulation Section 48.0-2(a)(4)(i) defines a “manufacturer” to include any person who produces a taxable article from scrap, salvage, or junk material, or from new or raw material, by processing, manipulating, or changing the form of an article or by combining or assembling two or more articles. The term also includes a “producer” and an “importer’. Regulation Section 48.0-2(a)(4)(ii) states that under certain circumstances, as where a person manufactures or produces a taxable article for another person who furnishes materials under an agreement whereby the person who furnished the materials retains title thereto and to the finished article, the person for whom the taxable article is manufactured or produced, and not the person who actually manufactures or produces it, will be considered the manufacturer. Importer: Regulation Section 48.0-2(a)(4)(i) defines an “importer” as any person who brings a taxable article into the United States from a source outside the United States, or who withdraws a taxable article from a customs bonded warehouse for sale or use in the United States. If the nominal importer of the taxable article is not its beneficial owner (for example, the nominal importer is a customs broker engaged by the beneficial owner), the beneficial owner is the importer of the article and liable for tax on its sale or use of the article in the United States.
