first fishing trip to the rouge river

Today we went down to the rouge river to do the first fishing of the year. There were patches of new ice here and there among the weeds, from the previous night's frost. But it was a beautiful sunny day and Ken tried out a new frog lure that turns out to have an entertaining "swimming" / splashing motion. We caught nothing.

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
