Check ice conditions in advance, to bring proper gear. Typically 4 inches of good, hard ice is required to support an individual. 6 inches is required to support an ATV or snow machine. •Keep in mind that it is very common for ice depth to be highly variable on a given reservoir and from one reservoir to another. •Snow can be heavy, as well as have an insulating effect, so don’t assume snow covered ice is safe ice. •Carry a 20-30 foot rope as a precaution in case someone falls through the ice. Hand held ice picks attached to rope and strung through the arms of a jacket can be readily available and potentially helpful •Booming and cracking ice isn’t necessarily dangerous. to an angler climbing out of a hole onto the ice. It only means that the ice is expanding and contracting as the temperature changes. •It is against the law to cut holes in the ice greater than 10 inches in diameter—except when dip netting for Cisco on Bear Lake. Holes in the ice can take time to freeze over, or can become disguised by snow cover, presenting hazards to unsuspecting anglers who can fall through. •Dress for the weather. Wear layers, and don’t forget to drink lots of fluids. Beverages that contain alcohol increase the onset of hypothermia.
