Hey alpha northerners, is a flasher/fish finder really necessary for ice fishing? I can just judge how deep it is based on how much line I let out. I borrowed one from a guy for a couple hours, caught a couple and one trout that did not even show up on the flasher. When I gave it back I caught a whole family dinner. Everyone I talk to says a flasher is a difference maker, but with my experience i feel like I spent too much time focusing on the screen as opposed to actually fishing. My current method is to keep drilling, and spend 15 minutes max at each hole. Even if there are fish the flasher would pick up, they might not be active. My method only finds active fish. What do ya'll think?
