  1. What #icefishing can teach us about making #foraging decisions
    Humans are natural #foragers in even most extreme habitats, digging up tubers in tropics, gathering mushrooms, picking berries, hunting seals in Arctic, and fishing to meet our dietary needs. Human foraging is sufficiently complex scientists believe that meeting so many diverse challenges helped our species develop memory, navigational abilities, social learning skills and similar advanced cognitive functions.

  4. We really could do with some snow. This is not a marbled floor in my portable shelter, just slippery smooth lake ice.

  5. Not much going on... Yet.
    I prefer to #IceFish without these things. They make me impatient. But kids like them.

  6. I know it's from #Wisconson, home of the #Packers, but I can't resist #Leinenkugel Snow Drift Vanilla Porter #beer when I'm #IceFishing.
    That and #IceHole Schnapps. Keeps me warm. Yeah, that's it.
