Russia is a country laden with lakes, rivers, and seas. Fish is obviously a very integral part of the Russian diet. The technique of ice fishing is one that is popular among the Russians as well. An ice saw, an auger or a chisel is used to cut through the ice where the fish are then lured to the rods using fat heads, wax worms, and crappies. Unlike in America, women in Russia love to go fishing just as much as men do.
