Darkhouse Spearfishing opens a new world

 Darkhouse
spear-fishing is a method of harvesting fish through the ice using
artificial fish decoys suspended in the clear water. When a fish
comes up to see the decoy, you spear it. A large hole is needed in
order to spear the fish and you need a fishhouse that is completely
dark. (Hence the term, "Darkhouse".)
After you first
enter a darkhouse it takes a few moments for your eyes to adjust to
the darkness. Once your eyes adjust, you lower your decoy down the
hole into the water and get your spear ready. Darkhouse spearing is
usually used to target northern pike, although other species are
sometimes sought depending on state regulations.
In Minnesota, only state residents are
allowed to spearfish in a darkhouse. But non-residents
shouldn't fret, because it IS legal for a non-resident to fish via
regular angling techniques; and there's nothing like angling in a
darkhouse. The ice-fishing hole below you becomes a big-screen
TV - you
 can
see all the fish, the bottom of the lake - and best of all, all the
activity beneath the ice. From watching a school of
bait fish dart through the field of view to catching a quick glimpse
of a walleye in the background waiting to seize an opportunity to
strike, anyone can enjoy the classic predator and prey drama that
unfolds in the depths of the lake. The hole in the ice is a window
to a whole new world. It's a
great way to fish and enjoy nature.
