Cattail Pond

"First, let's actually get you in the water hun." She let out an amused mrrow of laughter before slipping into the water of the pond. "A true Riverclan warrior must be one with the water, it is our greatest asset and ally after all, but it can be quite volatile too. The first thing you need to do is to learn how to be comfortable in water and how to make sure you can stay safe from when you're in a still pool like this to when you're swimming in a current." She swam closer to the edge of the pond. "Well? Come on in then!"

Having scampered ahead of the warrior he had somewhat conned somewhat asked into taking him fishing, Twigpaw reached Cattail pond which had a thin sheen of ice over it. Nearing the edge, his paws crunching on the frozen cattail stalks, the small apprentice batted lightly at the ice, feeling it crinkle and crack beneath his paws before his paw was plunged a few inches down, the cold ice cutting though his fur and to his skin as he moved his paw sideways, the cold water numbing his paw. Pulling it out after a moment, hopping on three paws as he flicked water off of it, Twigpaw asked So.......what are we going to be doing? I mean, there's ice on the pond! he wasn't sure how you fished with no way to get at the fish! @Larkstripe (New fishing technique thingy)

Lotusheart led her new apprentice to the pond. It was one of her favorite places. Calm, cool and, If you had the skill, delicious. She smiled at her reflection in the cool surface.
"OK, Badgerpaw, we've done this before. You know what to do, but tell me if you need help." she mewed and settled in next to the shore, her shadow falling behind her.

Cottonstrike lead his new apprentice towards Cattail pond ready to show them how to hunt. It was the most exciting as none of his apprentice got a chance for him to teach them how to swim. The deaf tom padded over to pond and looked at Copperpaw. "I'm going to teach you how to swim today.", he meowed.

Hm, this would be harder than Fishspeckle thought, as he walked down to the bank, he realized that it would be pretty hard to catch fish here, but the clan couldn’t survive on late to hibernating woodland animals all leafbare.
Fluffing out his coat, the grey tabby jumped onto a rock that was sticking out of the water, it would give him a better hunting spot since the fish liked to stay in deeper water.
The ice was thin, so that meant the fish wouldn’t be suffocated, that was good. Grabbing a stick in his jaws, Fishspeckle whacked it against the frozen surface, concentrating on breaking a large enough area for fishing. After a moment, the ice gave way and cracked, leaving a hole big enough to hunt through.
Now, all he had to do, was wait.

Icetree was thinking about hunting over the frozen pond when he saw Fishspeckle already there. "Hey!" He said quiet enough to not scare all the fish away.

Fishspeckle whipped around, almost startled off of the rock by the newcomer,
“Ah! Oh, sorry, didn’t expect anyone else to be here!”

Icetree laughed. "Me neither! Any luck so far?"

Walking over to a slightly father spot Icetree broke a hole in the ice. "well, goodluck!" He said
