Fish Tales on Deep Creek Lake

Ice fishing: It's a simple-enough concept. Grab a fishing pole, some bait, a bucket to sit on (or use a fish house, in the proper conditions) and stay on a frozen lake for hours.

You may not think that ice fishing in the East is as big of a deal as it is to, let's say, a Minnesotan, contrary to belief we've seen some hardcore anglers on the lakes nearby.

Take, for instance, Deep Creek Lake State Park (898 State Park Road, Swanton, Md., 170 miles from D.C.). It's the state's largest fresh body of water, with 69 miles of shoreline and abundant populations of bass and walleye. It's also well-stocked with yellow perch, bluegill and sunfish.
