    Any Leinenkugel's beer fans out there? A friend of ours works for a screen printing company as a graphics designer and does some of Leinenkugel's stuff. Anyways, we were up in Canada last winter ice fishing and my buddy Ryan snapped a picture of Jill, Emily (the designer), and myself. She ended up using that picture for one of their shirts.

    The shack was photoshopped in Peak, so you can't give me any sheet! :d

    Yep big Leiney fan here and that is one cool pic. I wish they still had the leiney northwoods.
    I have a bunch retro signs a buddy of mine gave me which were pretty cool.
    Dan up there I wouldn't blame you for using a shack if you had to.


    David thanks for sharing the great pics. Some just don't understand around my parts
    why I love winter also.

    Oh man I am thirsty for that now and look at those great eats.
    They really need to bring back the northwoods. I believe they only sold
    the brew in Wisconsin.

    Man I envy you up there.

    Yeah guys, awesome eats there. That is the lake we catch walleyes like panfish. 6' of water and if you use two poles, you better not go too far from one or it'll end up down the hole. That mess there was caught in less than 2 hours, plus a bunch more thrown back.

    Do you need to add an extension on the auger for the thick ice? How thick is the ice?

    No extension. There is usually a fair ammount of snow to insulate it, so it doesn't get that thick.
