More than 200,000 descend on fishing festival to catch trout in a frozen river
Hundreds of thousands of people have descended on a frozen river to drill through the ice to hook mountain trout - or even fish for them with their bare hands .

Visitors to Hwacheon in South Korea have arrived for the annual Ice Festival, which saw 200,000 people visit over the weekend, and which organisers anticipate will see more than a million taking part by the end of the three-week event.

During the festival, anglers drill holes in the ice, which is around 16inches (40cm) thick, and attempt to catch mountain trout with their rods.
 

Or they can even try the tricky art of catching them with their bare hands from a large tank at the festival's Ice Plaza.

Visitors can then cook their catch at cooking centres around the site to have it raw or grilled.

Around 9,000 holes have been ready drilled in the ice, with around two metres of clean water beneath them and 32 tons of fresh trout are added to the river every day.
