There's a lot of information out there on ice safety and it behooves us all to read some of it even if we think we've got it all down. The latest idea I read about was to be sure to wear a PFD and attach a 50' rope to your waist. That way if you fall through you will float and others can grab your rope and pull you out. I heard a story from a guy that I was fishing by yesterday. Once he broke through the ice out by the springs near Lincoln Beach. Another guy who was right there refused to throw him his rope and my new friend had to get out on his own. Some people! Heartless.
This is probably the most dangerous time of the year to venture out onto the ice. Please be careful and wait for 4 solid inches.
What advice can you all pass on? Do you have any interesting stories to share?

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
