Ice Conditions Continue to Deteriorate
Posted 6 February, 2012
“There
is always a level of risk associated with ice fishing,” said Joe
Larscheid, chief of fisheries for the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources. “Even during our coldest winters, ice conditions vary and
are never totally safe.”
The record setting warm spell over much of Iowa has eliminated ice
fishing over the southern two thirds of the state and is stressing ice
quality on many of the northern lakes. The tragic incidents of three
anglers drowning recently while ice fishing in Madison and Black Hawk
counties brings the safety discussion to the forefront.
“Ice fishing is a lot of fun and a social activity many of us look
forward to each year. If you are going out, head north and plan to
check the ice thickness often. Bring safety items like 50 feet of
rope and a throwable cushion, like the kind we have in a boat. And do
not go out alone,” said Larscheid. “If the ice does not look right,
don’t go out.”
Ice depths are not uniform on any body of water and there is no such
thing as safe ice. There are many factors that impact ice formation
making some locations thinner than others. With the warm weather, ice
conditions can change a lot in one day. Verify the ice thickness for
yourself and test it often.
