Ice Fishing Question
#1
Hi everyone,

I have a small problem regarding ice fishing. Here are the details:

I went out ice fishing last Friday at dog creek reservoir. The ice was around 8 inches thick. All the time I was ice fishing, I was hearing scary noises from the ice. There were two noises I heard. First was a VERY odd sound that I can’t possibly describe. Almost as if the ice was singing. Second, I occasionally heard and felt something like a crack near my feet and in the area I was ice fishing. Sometimes I would look down and see tiny cracks in the snow on the ice.

I am going to be upfront, I am scared to go ice fishing again because of these sounds. I am afraid that the ice will crack on me and I will fall through. Another fisherman pointed out to me that these sounds are the ice expanding, not it falling apart.

My problem is I am scared to go ice fishing because of these sounds, but I still would like to get more ice fishing in until it is not safe to do so.

Here’s my question. Do these sounds indicate that the ice is unsafe, or is this normal? Can someone help me alleviate my fear?

I’ll try to get a video of the sounds for you all tomorrow..

Jared
