Tribute to Mark Fort

[The Tiny Fisherman]

It’s hard to believe its been seven years. About this time every year I like to post a tribute to a very dear friend, Mark Fort. As most of you long time viewers may know Mark lost his life out on the Flowage.

The date Friday, November 29, 2002, day after Thanksgiving. The hunting season was late that year, opening day was the 23rd. It was a cold fall and there was good ice by the first part of that week. Mark went out on the big water ice fishing by himself and never came back.

Looks like there will not be any ice during this deer hunting season. This last weekend the water temperature was in the low 40’s. The long range forcast is going to be pretty warm. The middle of next week it is going to cool down a little, but not enough to make ice.

Please be very careful this coming ice fishing season.

Always a sad reminder of how dangerous frozen water can be. Happy Holidays to you and Fluffy, and lift a cold one or two to memories past and present.
