how far did he get towards the dam?

Well I hope no body got hurt......too dangerous this year to be driving out on any waters. I know a few guys that are still not using ATV's yet.....let alone a truck!! Especially in the dark hours....yikes!

Some people just don't have the proper respect for the ice...

is this where they Smelt fish? i seriously thinking about coming up there for the weekend and fish for smelt all weekend. i am from Rutland. Is blush Hills the only place to get onto the ice?

RipSomeLips22 · « **Reply #7 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 02:59 PM »

there is another access in the waterbury village, use googlemaps.

Wiggle, that's where I caught smelt last Friday. Most of that bay is safe ice, but, anything toward the Little River end is questionable.

Structure! I hope they're alright but I never can understand how people cant just walk...

Anybody have any idea who it was?

dylan8351 · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 06:39 PM »

Someone who apparently felt the need to plow all that snow we have out there...

cbice · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 18, 2012, 08:47 PM »

Was there really that much snow out there that they needed to plow? We have about an inch left here. This season has been too sketchy too even drive out on a shallow bay let alone that body of water considering how deep it gets.

How thick is the ice on the reservoir?

Was there booze involved? Didn't hear it on the news last night.

Way too many people Dying to ice fish this year !!

Unfortunately it's foolish acts like this that are going to get vehicles banned from the ice all together

Of course there was. Thats why it was never reported till the next day. I'd be curious as to how many empties were in the truck when it gets pulled out.

Ouch! Big assumption!

I would say its not an assumption. if you aren't drunk why would you not report it until the next day? It is just like any other car accident. If you are innocent there is nothing to hide. He deserves any fine/charge he is up against.

I guess nobody saw the 2 winks after assumption!!!

dylan8351 · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 19, 2012, 01:27 PM »

I would be embarrassed and wouldn't want to report it! I'd hate to be so lazy that I couldn't walk...
