Thanks Icemanjim for the website to that article. I sure am glad that everyone is ok. You never know when your angels are watching over you. Great to see that other ice anglers stepped up and helped them out other wise the out come would have possibly been a lot worse. I fish the gorge a lot usually but this year I went on Jan 10 at lost dog and there was about 16 inches at of ice with the top few inches starting to get rotten. I fished all day the ice was solid because it was below freezing all day. That was the last time that I have been down there. thanks again
