Ice Fishing on the Apple River

Hi All,  Yesterday was my first ice fishing experience.  I went with Mom, Uncle Brad & Auntie Kari.

 Mom thought I wouldn't last more than a half an hour, but we fished for almost 2 1/2 hours!

Drilling the holes with the auger was so cool.  We baited the hooks with little fish.  We used some tip-ups.
And did some jig fishing.  My cheeks got all rosie.
 We waited...
 And after just a few minutes, the flag from the tip-up flew up.  We all ran to the furthest hole to see what we caught.  Lucky us... We caught a 5 lb Northern.
 We fished for a while longer, but nothing was biting...
So we walked back to the shanty to relax & warm up.  The shanty had a TV & a fireplace.
On the way home from fishing we saw a Bald Eagle. We pulled the van over to take a quick photo.
Thank you for a super fun day.   Love, Anders
