Tip Up Pike

This is something I had not done since before the accident.  Just getting out on the ice, and dropping minnows down under tip ups for pike with Nell.

Gave Nell a safe place to practice her driving skills which thrilled her to no end.

After we had the sets dropped in the ice we hung out in the car and read.  I gave her first choice.  I had Seed To Seed and Origin Of Species along.  <grin>  Nell studied the cucurbita section well enough to be able to describe how to deliberately cross or isolate varieties, flower and plant parts, cultivating and seed saving.  I read about Darwin’s observations of pigeons.

Caught a good sized pike too.

When we got home Violet had to come outside to see the pike too.

Cleaned up nicely.  Not eating it tonight though.  Roasted chicken and veggies tonight.  Tomorrow we will make Crabby Patties (fish cakes) and have them on home made buns or just home made sliced bread.  I have not yet decided.
