Let it snow!
Well here we are October 23 and we have had our first snowfall of the year. Enough to stay on the ground.

Not only does the fish taste better, but ice fishing is more challenging and fun! A frozen lake is not just a barren chunk of ice, it's a playground for those who appreciate the cold winter season.
Around here, lakes have "neighborhoods" where the best fishing spots are. Some of the ice fish houses will rival the nicest campers in amenities and comfort. Price too! Some are shacks fashioned by high school kids with hammers. Then they paint them in all kinds of crazy designs to ATTRACT the sun. These winter campers play frizbee, have campfires, grill and watch football via satellite TV, all out on the ice. You can even have pizza delivered to your ice fish house. If we dress right, the cold factor isn't an issue. The biggest thrill is waking up in the middle of the night to a thunderous boom which is just the ice making more ice.
It's addicting and takes the edge off the anticipation of waiting out the winter for summer camping.
