We went to visit my Grandma yesterday and when driving by Wood Lake noticed SO many people out there ice-fishing! There were lots of seagulls around and even a small heron, standing out there on the ice, so I assume there must have been some fish coming up. Annika and Pedar are SO keen to give it a try, so we're heading out there today. We have NO idea what we're doing, but hoping to use a hole that's already been made and give it a go.
I would have thought the lake wouldn't be frozen thick enough by now, but apparently it is! Just wanted to let you know in case anyone else has been keen to go ice-fishing...
UPDATE: We went out, the lake is BARELY safe with only 4 inches of ice. I was too nervous to keep my kids out there for any length of time so we had a quick look, chatted to the men who were out there fishing (they were catching kokanee YUM! and 2 blue herons were waiting patiently for the heads!) and came home. The lake is thawed all around the edges so we had to jump across water to get onto the ice! Yikes!
