2025 Ice Fishing Shows

I love to research ice fishing gear online. Watching tons of You tube videos showing me how to find the fish.

But there is something about going to the ice fishing show. You get to feel what 900 denier fabric feels like. Feel how light that latest auger is. Attend a seminar to pickup a new ice fishing tactic.

Here is a list of upcoming ice fishing shows for 2025. If I missed one you go to, put it in the comments and I will add it to the list.
