Everyone met at the hall and then travelled to Spring Lake without a problem. Once there, we all got geared up, and went down to the lake. For those us (me) who are out of shape the trudge was arduous. :) Once we got down there, the dads who brought the augers set to work at making us some fishing holes. The kids got the their poles ready, baited up and then got fishin'. Unfortunately, there were no fish to be caught, but everyone still had fun. The children enjoyed peering down the holes and running around in the snow. It was cold, but with the sun shining the weather seemed great.
After a couple of hours, we all made the walk back to the shelter for lunch. Hot dogs and hot chocolate were on the menu and were gobbled down by the hungry fishers. There was some fun conversation to be had as well. Soon enough, though, the cold started to set into everyone. Because of the lack of fish action, everyone decided to call it a day around 1:00 pm.
Baiting up. Mmmm - maggots.
Handing out fishing rods.
I can see the bottom!
Tent time.
Here fishy fishy fishy!
Huff huff back to the shelter.
