The Sweetwater County Sheriff's office has issued warnings about using safety while ice fishing after a half dozen Utah fisherman had to be rescued last month from a drifting ice floe at Flaming Gorge.
Detective Dick Blust says to check ice thickness before going out, never fish alone, and consider wearing a personal flotation device. He also wants to remind everyone that fishing from shore ice when the lake is not completely frozen over can be particularly hazardous. Blust recommends an ice fishing safety video produced by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources called "Danger, Thin Ice!" found on YouTube and the Internet.
