Everything you could want to know about ice.
« on: Feb 01, 2016, 05:30 PM »
I posted this on the general chat page and the Massachusetts page.  I know some guys don't venture off of their state page so I figured I would share here also.   I don't wanna read about anyone dying because they went through.
Stay safe and tight lines.

Here is a site that I think might help everyone make informed decisions about ice.  I have read the site many times and still find something new I might have missed.  I like being as informed as possible about something that could potentially kill me.  Everyone always wants to know how thick the ice is.  Well it's not how thick the ice is as to how good the ice is.   Quality over quantity.  There is LOTS of information about ice on this site.  I would venture to say EVERYONE can probably learn something new about ice on this site.  I know I have learned plenty from it.

Always, always a great reminder!  Thanks for sharing this info.  I am reminded of the tragic story here in Idaho almost a year ago to the day of two experienced ice-fisherman losing their lives. http://legacy.krem.com/story/news/local/nez-perce-county/2015/02/07/sheriff-2-men-die-after-falling-through-idaho-lake-ice/23043569/

Glad you guys enjoyed the post.  If that info stops one person from swimming or worse yet dying I will be happy.  Stay safe and tight lines.
