Frozen water Fishing....

Well, it was a great day yesterday to spend some time with an old friend.

We had not seen each other in a while and because I had an appointment not far from him, I called.

When his wife answered the phone and said he was not home I asked where did he go.

There was a moment of silence..."Bill, do you really need to ask?"

That was all I needed. After my appointment I drove to the frozen water near his home. I am still a bit chicken about the ice, so I walked out to his house about a quarter of a mile off shore.

We drowned a few minnows and a sorrow or two.

The two hour break was a good change of pace for both of us.

This is not his house but for those of you who live in the warmer climates...Yes, we do put houses on the ice.
