    How cool! I'll bet they're having fun. It still amazes me that animals can live through in freezing weather while we have to put on coats, boots and gloves and may still risk hypothermia.

    Beautiful view. I've never been ice fishing. It requires two things that I don't have, patience and warmth, ha.

    Cool shots. I enjoyed scrolling down and catching up on all that I've missed. Being lazy tonight and not commenting. Good to have my computer back after almost a week. Yikes!

    Doesn't ice fishing look like a very cold way to have "fun"? It's popular up here too!

    Carletta: I have done ice fishing and even when I caught fish I was cold. I thought it wasn't that much fun.

    The one guy in the top picture looks like he has something on his line--or else he is hung on something.

    I have never ice-fished--not sure if I would like it or not. People seem to have a lot of fun with it though.

    It's cold here in Tennessee this morning, but at least not cold enough to permit ice fishing. Thanks for sharing these.

    Great shots! Your ice fishers are much closer than mine, you can actually see what they're doing! But I have to admit, much as I like being out in nature, the "fun" of this pasttime kind of eludes me. To each his/her own, I guess. :-)

    You really have to be a dedicated fisherman to do that. I'll have to ask my son where Turkey Lake is.
