if you look you will see the little old lady bending over as she looks through the hole in the river ice... she is fishing for what locals here call Lush. others might know it as Burbot. the ladies especially love to jig for Lush... men are always welcome... but even late at night if you walk out in the dark, in bitter cold weather you will see ladies patiently jigging away mouths watering as they think of all the fish they may catch and make into soup... it is amazing to me the persistence they demonstrate.
