Ice Fishing Courtesy

[kj]

Kent,
Good concern when walking in the fog, but you gotta remember, the guy on the snowmobile is as lost as you and he also is following the trail so he can find his way back to the parking lot. Least wise, that is how I travel. When I was walking and in dense fog, I moved off the beaten path when I heard a snowmobile coming. Now if you are not on a trail, stop and look for the head light. My machines have the headlights on when the engine is running. I assume that is typical of most machines.

Funny thing when talking about falling thru the ice. Kent, you remember when we traveled to Bear Lake several years ago and fished on the West side just over the pressure ridge. Remember the two guys who decided to walk over to us and fell thru the pressure ridge. I was ready to pull out my rope and throw to them, but they managed to pull them selves out before I got to my rope. If that wasn't bad enough, after talking with us a few minutes, they walked back over the pressure ridge to go home and fell thru again. I still chuckle about that trip.
