Comments

Jeremy was in town this morning with Colton and he wanted to get him out ice fishing. I really did not have any idea as to where I could take them to catch fish, but I had heard reports of lots of fish behind the house in Black Deer’s slough. I figured if nothing else we would see plenty of fish on the camera and they would enjoy that.
We did see quite a few fish, but they were all very small. Colton did catch four largemouth bass, but they were only about three inches long.

Observations:

There were plenty of fish and there were plenty of fishermen, but nobody was catching anything and the fish that were caught were all small. The lake was very crowded today on account of the Atomic ice fishing derby. Troy fished the derby and did rather well on bass and northern on his favorite tip up spot.
