Missfishylishious, Barley is my best fishing buddy! He's a 3 year old Yellow with a great big heart. His favorite "job" on the ice is to fetch up fish, (even slimy Pike) from the tip-up to shanty. He'll pick up bait saving a trip to the shanty from the hole, (if needed), spare tip ups, poles, you name it. He'll bring it back to you with a pretty soft mouth too! I would never trust him with a sandwich he's not stupid! We usually don't get any other fishermen out on the lakes that I ice fish, soooo his art of "thieving" other fishermens catches is limited, (Not to say he has never performed this task before!)
