Ice Fishing-----Revolution Watch


UPDATE AS OF WEDNESDAY 2/1/12

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

Is the Lake-Link Ice Fishing Jamboree event cancelled?
THE EVENT ITSELF IS NOT CANCELLED. Due to the warm weather and ice conditions THE ONLY PORTION WE ARE NOT HAVING IS THE FISHING CONTEST PORTION. If you want to fish you can fish Lake Delavan or any other area body of water at your own discretion.

Let's see, Feb. 2nd and there is inappropriate ice to go ice fishing----in Wisconsin. Yes this is in southern Wisco but just to day the DNR advised folks to get there fishing shacks off some places in the Wausaw area, certainly on the Wisconsin River.

Today on my usual inquiry at the hardware store about the fish bite, I learned that very few lakes were allowing cars on the ice due to bad ice. It has been above freezing almost every day for a week and the fish are not biting anywhere---even they are pissed off.

So how does this tie into the Revolution watch? Well, the revolution is the sustainable revolution, the movement to a more sustainable society away from the one that is presently not sustainable. As I have noted, as this process moves along, hopefully slowly, we will have to make adjustments in our life styles. Not only do the adjustments have to be toward using less energy and material goods but also to changing weather patterns.

So rather than me sitting out in a very comfy auto while the wind howls, I may have to choose just sitting on a bucket, maybe with a life preserver on or better yet, with a small boat in tow. It is getting tougher all the time. Can you imagine not being able to be in a warm shack or in my well heated car. It is unthinkable.
