GUIDES AND EQUIPMENT
|
|
Please remember that ice is never considered totally safe. Ice
conditions are changing on a daily basis. Call ahead for the
most current ice conditions. Anglers should always use extreme caution while ice fishing, and are
encouraged to wear a floatation jacket, carry ice claws and check
ice-depth often. The Department of Natural Resources reports
that 4 inches of ice is the minimum thickness recommended for travel
by foot. Ice safety guidelines also recommend a minimum of 5
inches of new, clear ice for snowmobiles and ATV's, and 8-12 inches of
new, clear ice for cars and small trucks.
