Anglers Take to the Lake

Fishing season opened early Saturday morning and in Ellington was full of anglers eager to land their first catch of the season.

Even though the weather was cold and raw, local bait shops like Crystal Lake Bait & Tackle and were hopping as anglers prepared to hit the lake for the first time.

So that the anglers didn't have to go out hungry, the near the lake offered a pancake breakfast from 5 a.m. until 10 a.m. The fishermen could either have a sit-down meal or take it to.

Men, women, and even children got in on the action of opening day.
