They are ice fishing in Madison on Lake Monona in a bay. A friend has been going there daily up to last Monday at least.
Most of that Lake is open water however.
Sorry, no pics.

Also, I saw two robins this morning. That was a surprise.

I don't fish but plenty of people have been ice fishing around here for a month or more. Has been a crazy winter so far though.

I'm hoping to get out with neighbor Joe this winter. These guys go about it different than I do.

We have alot of small ponds around here,so many have been on the ice.Went by Auburn Lake the other day and all most all of it was open,which did not surprise me any.

No ice fishing here, the water is all open still.

Ice diving is a sport I never had the courage to try. While I love to scuba dive, I just could not bring myself to cut a hole in the ice and go under....it would be beautiful though if that video is any indication.
