Arrowhead Ice Fishing and Winter Show brings excitement

DULUTH, Minn. — Vendors are busy setting up for the weekend-long Arrowhead Ice Fishing and Winter Show over at the DECC.

Each year, the show brings in thousands of people for the biggest ice fishing sales of the year. Starting tomorrow, the event will be ready to go, featuring thousands of products from the latest ice fishing gear to winter apparel.
People will also have the opportunity to talk directly with factory reps and attend Ice Box Seminars to talk strategy and get expert tips.

“We’re starting off this year with a ton of cold ice that’s ready to be fished on. And this event, because of the timing of it, we know winter’s set in, and so a lot of people are coming here, like I said, with the family getting geared up for literally, the next day, they’re going to go out and fish,” said Steve Hanson, representative for Eskimo and Ion.

If you need a break from shopping, you can check out the frozen basin, Twiggy the Water-Skiing Squirrel, or play some ice bocce.
