I heard tell a tale about a guy who went fishing on Hungry Horse one very cold winter and he walked out from shore about 50 yards on what was apparently very thick ice proceeded to drill a hole with his power auger and he drilled for a fair bit of time to make through about 24" of ice and then his auger dropped! He removed to auger from the hole and looked down the hole only to realize that there was 15 feet between the bottom of the ice and the top of the water! Now like I said I heard tell a tale, but it doesn't instill any confidence when going to fish that body of water during hardwater season!If you go be very cautious! and Good Fishing
Just from an engineering perspective, the ice can't support itself in a sheet that size. If the water drops a couple inches or a foot, the ice goes down with it and a shore slope to the sheet should be noticeable with much of a drop. Certainly would be possible to not notice the slope to the ice from the shore and venture out a ways, drill a hole, and not see any water. Talk about rectal puckers!
