After years of trying, our neighbors convinced my parents that ice fishing would be a fun winter getaway from our dairy farm. Before that, their idea of entertainment involved driving around the countryside to e how the neighbors' crops were doing.
My parents eventually built a fish hou and t it up on Wood Lake. We excitedly headed for the lake on many January and February weekends. By the time we arrived at our favorite fishing spot across the lake each day, somebody had usually made a clear pa
th across the ice. The fish hous were together at the best fishing spots, forming some kind of a neighborhood.
Our hou was large enough so all four of us could fish at the same time. Each corner had a square cut out of the floor. We sat in comfort. You'd think ice fishing would be cold, but we had a small woodstove (木炉) inside, and we put snow around the bottom of the hou to keep the wind from blowing underneath.
