Hardwater: A Maine Ice Fishing Odyssey

Two Maine documentary filmmakers, Ryan Brod and Daniel Sites, are currently creating 60-minute movie called Hardwater: A Maine Ice Fishing Odyssey. The project has been in the works since September 2008, and they expect it to be finished by the fall of 2010.

They visited Jack Traps at our open house last December with their equipment and put together this video for us. The last few minutes are a sneak peak at Hardwater.
