Scenes from a Fish House



First, we had to slush the hole. We used a sieve to get the slush out of the hole, put it into a pan and then threw it out the door onto the frozen lake. Little Sister was the only one dressed appropriately. . .we were standing on linoleum covered ice so we still needed boots, but the friend that had allowed us to use the fish house had turned the heater on before we arrived and it was nearly 90 degrees F in the fish house. Now you see the hole ready for fishing. The DNR(Department of Natural Resources) says that there needs to be 12-15 inches of ice for a medium sized truck to drive on the ice. I wish we had brought a yard stick to see how thick the ice was.
