Add this to the list of things to do with your old Christmas Tree.
The Payne’s Point Hook and Spear Fishing Club in Neenah is collecting old trees to mark the ice on Lake Winnebago. The club’s Jim Nobbe says they place the trees in holes in the ice about a tenth-of-a-mile apart to help ice fishers find the shore and identify cracks in the ice. Nobbe says fishermen know that a tree that’s lying flat means there is a crack or a weak spot in the ice.
