ICE-FISHING

Today's pictures were taken by Mary even though they say Art on the byline.

Not the best of conditions but Mary and Olga took Minna and Tien out to see if the fish were biting.

Minna was very patient, sitting quietly and jigging slowly, hoping the splake would bite.

Her brother Tien, made a little snow holder and entertained himself while waiting for his fish.

We are still waiting, and I guess we will try again next year. The snow is disappearing quickly and in another week I don't think it will be safe to be out ice-fishing.

Today we are off to the sugar bush to see how Maple Syrup is made in the sugar shack.
