Hey Fred,

Sorry, I replied but it didn't upload I guess. I was fishing northern Sask, but here in Alberta the ice is thinner. We are having a cold snap now, so I suspect we are probably building ice now. There has been limited snow cover so the ice we have is nice and black. Southern parts of the province are still sitting at 8-10" from what I hear.

Taking atv and portable house. these are his photos I stole off facebook. Meanwhile my wife and I took our youngest boy out to a smaller lake to try some dark house spearing. Neither Joey or Pam had ever thrown the spear before. We only had one opportunity and Joey had the spear at the moment. The ice is really late this year but we are managing to get out on it a little now. cool pics! been quite a few years since i ice fished in the mid west. used to carry two screw drivers attached with a ft foot piece of string over my back in case i fell threw during early ice or would scoot the grumman canoe out on the ice with one foot in the canoe and one on the ice.nlol young and dumb. used to see quite a few trucks go through the ice every year.
