Fun Ice Fishing On Montana’s Lake Frances

We had a blast ice-fishing on Lake Frances in Valier, Montana, during the 2018 Ice Derby last Saturday. We’ve got lots of video and pictures to sift through. Look for another blog later this week with more details and some technical info. For now, check out some of our visual highlights from the derby, which drew 368 competitors.
