Newlyweds Laura and Ken Daniels spent their first Valentine’s Day as a couple sitting over an ice fishing hole on Stoco Lake near here.
“It’s not too often you’re allowed to go fishing on Valentine’s Day,” Ken Daniels said with a big grin Saturday afternoon. “It’s very romantic,” Laura Daniels added with a laugh. The Courtice, Ont. couple was among the 50 anglers competing in a charity fishing derby Saturday at Cozy Cove on Stoco Lake. This was the Daniels’ second consecutive year competing in the fishing derby and they had no qualms that it was held on Valentine’s Day. Laura’s uncle, Bob Spicher, who helped plan the event, fished as well. “We’re just lucky my uncle lives right beside the lake and we get some time to spend with family as well,” said the 35-year-old, who was married Dec. 6, 2008.
Laura said she enjoyed the hours spent outdoors watching fishing lines in three different holes.
