Here are a few more photos of my ice fishing adventures during the winter of '07-'08. As opposed to the last three winters, this winter was a year of mild snow and good ice. We were able to get onto the lakes without any difficulty throughout the entire winter and the fishing was really good too.
This is Cottonwood lake just three miles north of my house. Most of the time it is like my own private lake as there are very few fishermen using this lake both in the winter and the summer.
I can hardly go fishing in Cottonwood without catching a good sized Northern Pike whether it be summer or winter. Here I am pulling one of the many Northerns through the hole in my fish house. When my kids are here in the summer time we come here in my boat. When I post photos of my grandkids fishing on Cottonwood, you'll see what I mean!

Uh...why is there WATER on top of the ice??? Looks a little shaky to me!
What's Northern Pike taste like? Good stuff? How do you prepare it? Please don't tell me that you just boil it and eat it with lefse!!!

Danny - No, it's not water....just smooth, clear, solid, shinny ice.
Northerns are probably the best tasting fish ever especially out of ice cold water. Karen always baked them but frying is good too. And yes, I plan on trying to cure them sometime like lutefisk. (I'll let you know.)
