1-13-06 Fishing trip

We made another trip out to our deep fishing holes to open them up andspend a little time trolling for fish. The weather was beautiful and somewhat warm, and we had a fun ride out on the snowmobiles.

When you have too many people for the skidoos, pulling people on sleds is a handy alternative transport method. The passenger is sitting on one of our survival bags that is full of tents and sleeping bags, so the ride isn't too rough.


Out at the fishing hole one of our group pulled out a stuffed penguin,and we got a few pictures, as this may be as close as we get to a live penguin this month.

Here is the stuffed penguin sitting in a real penguin track. We found this track along the side of the road, and it was heading inland with no obvious destination in sight.


After scooping all the loose ice out of the fishing holes we were left with a pleasant little fishing hole to sit around. No one got any nibbles this afternoon, but the major effort begins today.
