When Cob van de Sande headed out onto East Grand Lake with family and friends during February vacation, one day of ice fishing didn’t begin exactly how he’d planned. In fact, van de Sande’s day couldn’t have begun much worse — or colder. “It was like negative-4 with the wind blowing 20 [mph],” the 14-year-old from Amherst explained. But cold weather is part of ice fishing, so he busied himself preparing a trap to catch lake trout, sounding the hole to see how deep the water was (90 feet), and attaching a sucker for bait.
