Great picture CD at least they have ice in B.C.  I bet he (assuming it is a he) is trying to grab a fish.

There's a fish under the ice smiling up at him and giving him the middle fin.

My first thought was “boy it seems awful dangerous to be on early Ice without a beard”.

It is an amazing photo, but I am still a fan of the proven "Fat Bob" system.

I fear that the "Early Eagle Approach," while exceedingly patriotic, would still leave me and my gear getting wet or worse.

Tried and true, Fat Bob's my go to guy.

I suppose a Fat Roberta would work as well as a Fat Bob, now that you mention it.
