Brooklyn's Flat Stanley in Alaska!









Ice fishing in Westbeaver, Alaska.  This is Mike drilling the hole to fish in.  The ice is 32 inches thick!!  That's almost 3 feet deep!

This is the hole all drilled!

Flat Stanley wanted to tasted these little shrimp, but they are bait to use on the fishing trap!

This is a rainbow trout caught while ice fishing in West Beaver, Alaska.

Flat Stanley is standing right on the fish trap!  Be careful, Stanley!  Stanley and friends set 4 traps!
