Up the river
In AuGres that is:
Last night was a cold one, -5 degree’s with a light breeze. The high today was about 22 degree’s.
There are fish in the river, under about 8 or nine inches of ice, but most of them seem to be small Walleye. Not to many keepers, and it’s been awful cold to be out there fishing. The ladies tried it for a few hours yesterday, until my better half managed to step on her fishing line while baiting a hook, and hooked her thumb real good. (Easy to do when it’s bitter cold and your bundled up so heavy) Her Sister pushed the hook through and we cut off the barb, then pulled out the hook. A quick call to the Doc this morning, had us running down to St. Mary’s to get her tetanus vacine updated. That ice fishing stuff can get pretty dangerous!
