after a decade-long self-imposed exile from the hardwater, the angler known as Rockfisherman returned to the ice this past weekend. responding to simultaneous flags, he iced the brace of fish pictured below. I tended to a third flag and battled to submission a 5" perch.

Bill, thank you for the nice shots. If left to my own devices, I would have no photos...despite having a digital camera (with a dead battery) and a 35 mm (2 shots left on the roll). Paul

Sam,

I've noticed that some of you guys wear fairly brightly colored clothing. Note the camoflauge I am wearing. When the ice is black, the fish can see you.

Chow was limited to what we could find at 7-11. Fire was not allowed at the pond so the meat-n-kraut had to stay in the car.

YM, the trout took small shiners. We both tried jigging with no results at all.
