S Koreans drawn to annual ice fishing frenzy

In the South Korean city of Hwacheon, ice fishing has become an annual tradition. Tens of thousands of people flock to a frozen stretch of river every day to fish using various styles. Three to eight tons of farmed fish are added to the dammed-off river every day. The common factor for everyone, though, is the hunt for the prized sancheono trout.
