Caught a fish dinner while skiing!
I often ski past a lake that has a couple openings in the ice near the
shore. A couple days ago I noticed there were thousands of minnows in the openings, all sipping air. There were bigger fish in there, too. All different kinds. I called the DNR and they said it was a winterkill, oxygen deprivation (without a tent). There were hundreds of dead ones, too. So today I took a little kiddy frognet with me (and my license and a fishpole) and skied out there again and lashed a sapling to the net with one of my ski boot laces (it proved too short otherwise) and netted a bunch of plump perch. Man, it was tricky getting them. They are smarter and livelier than the others. It was quite a challenge. They'd get shy and I'd stand there til they drifted back in sight. There were a couple huge bowfins in there, too. The perch were full of roe. I looked it up online and see that it's considered tasty. I also found that bowfin also have a roe and make an excellent sturgeon substitute. As in, not mediocre. I think I'll go back! --With a better net this time. Gonna have a regular fishfry. And caviar feast. Better than letting them all croak and feed only crows. -- Jeff Potter **** *Out Your Backdoor * http://www.outyourbackdoor.com publisher of outdoor/indoor do-it-yourself culture... ...offering "small world" views on bikes, bows, books, movies... ...rare books on ski, bike, boat culture, plus a Gulf Coast thriller about smalltown smuggling ... radical novels coming up! ...original downloadable music ... and articles galore! plus national travel forums!
