Shawn Childs of Lisbon checks his trap Sunday to make sure his bait is still wiggling, while ice fishing on Sabattus Pond in Sabattus. He says ice fishing locally has changed in recent years. “There used to be big groups of people fishing all day long,” Childs says. “You used to get eight or nine fish by 10:30 in the morning. Now, there are a lot of days that should have been good days, and I’ve gotten skunked.” Andree Kehn/Sun Journal
