One Dozen #210


This fisherman on the LaHave River had just caught a dozen smelts. He must have had some time since his last catch and arranged his fish according to size. This part of the river is really a sunken river valley and is salt water. The tide was out and I slipped a couple times on the shore ice.

  1. Were they laid out to flash freeze?

  2. I just saw an ice fisher today - it is 60 degress out, I would be afraid the ice would melt, hmmm. Looks cold there though! Great picture!

  5. What a wonderful shot and the fisherman's predilection for ordering his catch is curious...
