I saw some people fishing the other day in 16 degree Fahrenheit (-9 Celsius) weather at 4:30AM. They were not ice fishing with a little hut, but standing at the base of a bridge with no shelter or campfire. People are at that bridge fishing regularly when it is cold but that was the coldest temp I have seen so far. Why is it so appealing to them?

    You have absolute peace and quiet. There are no chores to do, no one demanding your time. Just you and the nature. And maybe a fishing buddy, could be a lifelong friend, could be a brand new friend, could be like your an-in-law, or a child for some bonding time.
