Fish ‘n Chips |
|
by Sue Orsen Each year the Victoria Fire Department plans its ice fishing contest for that first weekend in February and takes what it gets for weather, letting the chips fall where they may. Some years it’s below zero and windy as hello. Some years it’s 40 to 50 degrees with puddles of water flooding the surface of the ice. This year the temperature was in the mid 20’s with snowflakes gently falling throughout much of the afternoon. In other words, the chips landed in a good spot. The crowd was the biggest ever with maybe 350 cars parked on the Stieger Lake, supported by ice two-feet thick, plus dozens of vehicles parked on the shoreline and even more on the landing at the top of the hill. More than 800 holes were drilled and many fish were caught. All prizes were awarded, including for the largest predator (a 4.26-pound large mouth bass by Jim Miller) and largest panfish (a .23-pound sunfish by David Clayton). The fish ‘n chips were good in 2010!
