Nice to have some fresh fish in the winter

ice fishing Whitefish Lake, Ontario
Sam and I got a supper's worth of perch and small walleye earlier this week by ice fishing on Whitefish Lake near our home in Nolalu, ON.
The temperature was right around the freezing mark that day but then plunged to -20 C for a couple of nights.
You can see that the ice is a perfect blue color. It's about a foot thick which is far less than normal. There is almost no snow on the ice so there isn't anything to insulate it from freezing deeper should we get sustained cold temperatures.
Blue ice is the strongest kind of ice there is. There have been people driving trucks on the lake since the ice was only eight inches.
