Keep Safety In Mind When Preparing To Ice Fish

Ice fishing derbies are just around the corner, so Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. wants you to keep a few things in mind when it comes to being safe on the ice.






Blust says to check ice thickness before venturing out and check thickness every 100 to 150 feet. He says the easiest way is to use a cordless drill with a 5/8-inch, 5-inch long wood augur bit.






Also, remember... you should never ice fish alone. Wearing a PDF, or Personal Flotation Device, is highly recommended.
