First ice of 2017-2018. It's not about the fish...
The long-awaited trip to the first ice of the new hardwater season took place. This year's season opened in the Orekhovo-Zuevsky district, at a place called Severnoye Chistoye. The ice thickness at the time of our arrival was 6-7 cm, and fish activity was practically nonexistent, but that didn't stop us from having a good time doing our favorite activity—and the fish aren't the most important thing.
