After engaging her dad in a laid-back snowball fight on Saturday on Norway Lake, 13-year-old Molly Hook got her soap wand out and began blowing bubbles beside her ice-fishing trap.
The Baldwin youngster, who was born in North Carolina, wasn't used to Maine ice-fishing's tedious pace, mom Tina Hook said during the first day of the Norway-Paris Fish and Game Association's 38th annual two-day ice fishing derby.
"She's not used to waiting for fish to bite," Tina Hook said, lounging in a nearby deck chair with her husband, Richard. "She's used to catching catfish and eels down South," right after dropping in a line.
Fishing on the western end of the lake was pretty slow through 1:30 p.m. Saturday on a warm afternoon. The Northeast Bank sign on Route 26 in Paris read 36 degrees at 1:30 p.m.
