If you plan on ice fishing this year always
use the safety tips below before venturing onto the ice.
1. Find a large rock and throw it onto the ice, if it breaks through
well that's obvious. If the rock doesn't break through it should
be safe enough to venture a few feet from shore.
2. A few feet from shore drill a test hole and check the thickness
of the ice. If you are still unsure best bet would be, not to go!
3. Fish with a buddy. Carry a rescue rope and a pair of ice picks for
self-rescue.
Keep in mind that around moving water the ice
will be thinner and such areas may be dangerous to venture in. Some
lakes have natural hot springs bubbling up from the bottom so you should
always research what lake you plan to fish before you make your trip.
Keep these safety tips in the back of your mind, get out and enjoy this
fun and exciting sport, you'll be glad you did!
Tasty Trout recipe submitted by Rocky Halladay:

cooking).
3. Baste a little more Italian dressing on the trout, add a small amount
of lemon pepper for taste.
4. Wrap the tinfoil around the fish (not tightly) and place in the fire
or bar-b-que at home.
