There's only about a two week window when you are able to take a picture such as this one - first ice walleyes with the fish proving the short-stack of ice in the picture. It is simply a classic time of year, and a classic pic to boot. Here, we tried this inaccessible (to most people) lake I'd always had on my back burner, finally got out there after about a mile through the woods on an unmarked trail; ended up icing 5 nice walleyes, completing our research sampling for the day.
