Breanya Mains shows Wyatt Nichols the brook trout she pulled through the ice Wednesday on Beals Pond in Turner. “It’s the biggest brook I have ever caught,” she said. The recent cold snap has locked up many small ponds, giving ice fisherman a safe surface. Beals Pond has about 7 inches of ice. Mains and Nichols are sophomores at Leavitt Area High School in Turner.
