Coolest place EVER to fish

This is the Zippel Bay Ice Igloo!

It is located on Lake of the Woods about an hour from me.
I visited once last year and was blown away by the ambience.
It is likely that I will be sledding there with some friends on Sunday.
We plan to spend our five dollars for 'beer and bait'
Also five more per hour for 'hole and rod'!
Probably watch the ProBowl there, fish inside in comfort,
aaaand get a little pershnokered

Sorry, these shots are not mine and not so good.
I intend to bring a camera this time.
Here's a little write up of the joint:

That looks pretty cool...pun intended. There is a ice hotel in Iceland that I wanted to go to when I lived there, but never got around to it.

Reminds me of the time I was working in December at Jamestown, North Dakota and I locked the keys in my rental car @ -33 degrees. Luckily, the only locksmith for 75 miles was just across the street working. I was on my way in 10 minutes.

You know, they only have cell phones in North Dakota along the interstate highways? Where I was, houses were 25 miles apart.
Unless the farmers had cattle, they were cooling their heels in Florida for the Winter. I say cash in about 1000 acres of farmland, buy a foreclosure and move to Florida about 9 months out of the year.

Ahhh Baudette MN - on Beautiful Lake of the woods. I'm just on the opposite end of the lake, but the Canadian side.

I am rockin in the band at the WigWam resort just north of Baudette this weekend for fishing opener. Should be a madhouse.
One of my favorite LOW areas is around Kenora...frickin beauty eh?
