[@derekinhawaii]

Five years ago I got threatened with arrest from some local police of the town I grew up in. Thee reason they gave me was because it's unsafe to ice fish. NOW, I'll admit no one every ice fished this pond. The pond has only one access point, a state trail from the main road, and it's surrounded by multi million dollar homes. So the homes owner have no idea about the conditions or even what the hell ice fishing is. That being said, the day in question, the ice measured from 14-17inches thick. Now, because I are up in this town, I knew 90% of the police officers In fact I grew up next to 4 officers, including the police chief. When I asked the officer if I didnt get off the ice what would happen, she explained that we can talk about it at the station. I said state law says I can fish here, she stated "I supersede state law". I told her, no need to take me to the station, I'll meet her there with paperwork in hand to file a complaint.... Iproceeeded to the station, at a high rate of speed, kicked the door open, filed the complaint. 3 months later... the complaint was "sustained". I promised that town that if the officer didnt get anymore complaints from anyone legally enjoying any outdoor sport within the town, I wouldn't file a lawsuit. SUCCESS so far. Hopefully I'll get the time this winter to travel back to the town/pond and do some ice fishing. Mainly I want to see if the police will respect my right to fish without being threatened with arrest.

I have fished many years on 2-3 inches of early season black ice in 3-4 feet of water near the shore. If you go through you might be cold and pissed but you're not gonna die. I was fishing in my pop up shack one year with a solid 8 inches of ice and a game warden who was new to the area and afraid of ice wanted me to walk about a quarter of a mile to the shore so he could inspect my license. I respectfully refused and told him I was not obligated to do so and yelled over my information to him then politely told him that he either gets used to going out on the ice or find a new vocation.

All those warnings tell me I don't have to stand in a potentially unsafe area. Yes a spud bar is a must, I have seen quite a few go out without one. Actually, as a kid we just sent the heaviest one on the ice and told him to jump before we went skating or fishing.

They do it all the time early season even way up here in Northern Ontario. They warn of ice safety, some lakes freeze earlier than others so use caution. Ultimately it's the emergency services that have to show up and pull you out of the lake and treat you for hypothermia if you do go into the lake.
