Fishin with a Mission

We went ice fishing once again! We took a friend of mine, Gwen who I get to work with in the Avian department, and her most amazing dog Rory on a trek through the woods and drilled a few holes to fish. This is a picture of Tyler with the auger, drilling the first hole. 
Close up of the drilling! The ice was about a foot thick that he was drilling through. It's quite a bit of work, so Tyler was Mr. Man and drilled holes for all of us. I believe it put a few unneeded chairs on his chest.  Fish on! Tyler and his little ice fishing pole bringing up a tastey lunch! And here's lunch! A beautiful rainbow trout. I think it might be the prettiest fish to come out of a lake, the tastiest too.  And this is Rory in her fleece sweater Gwen made especially for her. I never knew a dog could look so svelt in fiber.  The lake was in a very pretty location with mountains and spruce trees all over the place. The wind wasn't even blowing while we were out there, which is a rare thing indeed! It was a beautiful day in the woods, and quite the smashing time around Seward.
