SirKevin Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 For those of you who icefish, how thick does the ice have to be for you to be comfortable going out on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shad_Master Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 There was a news story on the local channel here last night that suggested that the ice should be at least 3" to 5" for one person to be safe. The story also said that "clear" ice was the safest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainer Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 If you are not familiar with ice fishing, use caution! If you are familiar with ice fishing, use caution. The ice may not be of consistant thickness on the whole lake. Currents, springs, inlets, etc can cause varying ice thickness. Bore test holes to verify ice thickness if it is in question. Also beware of concentrated loads (groups of people, trucks, etc)early in the season. Warm spells can make a difference also. Enjoy, but be smart!
