Winter Fishing

   In the book "The River Calls" winter fishing was a regular part of life on the river.
There wasn't any of the modern tools, but still, they brought home the fish. A hole was chopped through the ice and the line was dropped through the hole.

   All that was required was the ability to keep from freezing to death. With temps of nearly -40, good mittens were a necessity. Sometimes they would build a nice fire on the ice, making it a lot more fun.

   In the middle of a Minnesota winter, the sun comes up at about eight in the morning and sets at about 4:30. That makes for some long nights. Families were always looking for fun things to do and fishing was at the top of the list.   

   You can find the EBook Kindle edition of "The River Calls" at Amazon.com and at www.peaceriverbooks.com. The Peace River Books blog is updated each day.
