Clifftop - the scene below is on a river. Come the spring thaw, this is all liquid.

 

And a lake - ice fishing derby

You don't want to start fishing in the wrong hole though

Right. You could catch a brown trout.

Fairly popular now that all open water except the fastest rivers are iced over. You can catch pike, walleye, perch, steelhead, etc. - the same species as in summer. Personally I like to fish for speckled bass (crappies) at night with a lantern. I lower an underwater light through an adjacent hole which draws them in, then tip a teardrop lure with a grub and jig it. I can "see" the lure and any fish on my Vexilar flasher, which makes it easy to adjust to suspended fish. Great fun.

It's interesting to note that, (re Robs post), you go fishing for CRAPPIES.
