Commercial ice fishing is can be desolate and cold and that’s why Will Henriksen loves it.

Commercial ice fishing can be an unpredictable winter venture. Will Henriksen and his life-long ice fishing buddy John Koessl apply their trade off the shores of Sister Bay in the dead of winter. They commute to work more than two miles out onto the ice shelf by snowmobile and can haul in 300-400 pounds of fish a day for Door County restaurants.
