Does this mean the last three lines have all been used before in a hunt? Which hunt?

Interesting take on the colon in clue 6, OT. Thanks.

Colon=Colic.

Frank, contests waged, history mystery, water/ice, harbor of arbor, have no fear, (stretch)can see pig's eye lake(/stretch), almost all of clue 5. If it was spelled cowlick, I would have left work sick at 7:30 when I first read the clue.
