ICE FISHING SAFETY: From NYS DEC: Recent fluctuating temperatures are causing variable ice conditions across many parts of the state, so now more than ever safety should be your #1 priority. Keep these tips in mind when planning your trip out on the ice. • Four inches of clear, black ice is generally safe for if you're venturing out on foot, however ice thickness can vary on every waterbody. • Be particularly cautious of areas with moving water and around boat docks and houses where bubblers may be installed to reduce ice buildup. • The presence of snowmobile tracks or footprints on the ice should not be taken as evidence of safe ice conditions. • Bait and tackle shops can be a great resource for information on current ice conditions. However, avoid situations that appear to present even a remote risk. • Check the ice thickness with an auger or ice spud at various spots as you move around. • Carry ice safety picks (two handles with spike points) to help you get out of the water should you break through the ice. For additional ice safety quidelines, visit the DEC website.
