.....in SD/ND?

I have only been ice fishing for about 5 or 6 years but the thickest I can remember was probably around 22-24" and that was in the Lake Thompson area, (81 ponds I think) it was a few years ago. I know that I have never needed an extension on my auger as of yet....maybe someday....who knows.....probably not this year. What about you other SD/ND fellas?

I've drilled through about 28-30" on Waubay before. Nothing like Lake of the Woods, where several feet are not uncommon, but still quite a bit of ice.

I could swear I remember 34"+ on lake Sakajawea (SPELLING?) growing up- that would be at least 14 years aog or so....

31" on Waubay last year.... had the powerhead just about buried to the top of the ice

Christina, up in the wind rivers of wyoming. I have an 11 extension that goes on my 30 jiffy and I have bottomed it out up there. So I am guessing over 40" of ice.
