Go Fish

Today was a bit of an adventure. Joe and Bryon have been spending the past few weekends building an ice shanty, and today we took it out on Eagle Lake. The sun was shining and it was actually a bit warm, but the ice was still almost two feet thick, so the boys dragged their collapsible shanty onto the ice and we went fishing.

We spent a good 3 or 4 hours just hanging out in the hut and sliding around on the ice. We didn't catch anything...but I think the fish were all having a secret meeting on the other side of the lake. There wasn't any live bait to be found around town, so we had to settle for lures. We added a bit of hot dog to one of the hooks and seemed to get a few bites, but nothing stuck. Oh well....we'll just have to try again another day!
