You decide that your best chance of catching a fish will be to make a spear, then to lie on the bank and wait for a passing fish. The water is clear, and you don't have any bait for a hook anyway.
But as you approach the edge of the lake, you slip on a rock and plunge feet first into the water. The lake is fed by a glacier and it is so icy cold that it takes your breath away. You struggle out of the water. Only your feet and part of your legs are wet but, even so, it leaves you gasping from shock of the cold water.
What should you do? Can you bear to take off your boots and clothes to dry them? Or is the thought of exposing your freezing legs to the elements too much to even consider?
If you decide to take off your clothes to get dry, go to page 82.
If you decide to keep walking and dry out that way, go to page 75.

Fishing:
- The lake is full of fish. Among the fish that are good to eat are perch, which are native to this part of the world, as well as salmon and trout, which have been introduced here from North America.
- To hide from the fish, make sure your shadow doesn't fall on the surface of the water.
- If you don't have any luck spearing fish with a sharpened stick, you could try making a trap. use a plastic bottle with the top section cut off, turned around, and placed back inside the bottle so that the bottle top is facing into the bottom of the bottle. Fish can swim in through the narrow neck, but will find it very difficult to get out again.
- The biggest danger when fishing here is the cold water. As you just found out the waters of a glacier-fed lake are freezing cold.
