Pictures from Wednesday's stocking

COLD was the word. Jim Brefeld came early to break the ice for the delivery but maintenance finally had to come to enlarge the hole. As most fishermen know, all pike are a very sensitive fish and can die easily if mishandled. You will see in the pictures we lost quite a few but we will get another shipment free to cover the losses. The smallmouth bass and cat handled the cold water fine so no problem there. Jim, Tom, and Dale braved the weather to help with the delivery and keep an eye on the quantities. They deserve our thanks for freezing their rears off.
