Herb Dietrich reminisces about the "ice man" Bill Lamb, who lived in a pointed stone house and kept an ice house by the 8th Line dock. Herb recalls going to help shovel sawdust (used as an insulator) and his father going with a team of horses pulling a sleigh to haul blocks of ice from the lake to the ice house. Herb recalls that Bill loved to fish and told him stories of spear fishing. Bill also owned a spear made of a cross-cut saw blade with barbs on it and a leaded handle, which Bill had used with his brother Bob to catch trout. Bill's ice hut would be located about a mile out from the foot of the 7th Line, and he would feed his line down about 80 feet. He used boiled barley and minnows as bait, and Herb recalls he sometimes used a snagger (a homemade apparatus for catching fish) until it was outlawed.
