Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Check Ice Thickness

    Verify at least 4 inches of clear ice before walking — drill test holes as you go.

  • Never Fish Ice Alone

    Always fish with a partner on ice and carry ice picks and a throw rope.

  • Layer for Cold

    Dress in layers with waterproof outer shell — hypothermia sets in quickly on ice.

Safety Notes

  • Wear a PFD near deep or fast-moving water.
  • Handle hooks carefully and use barbless hooks near children.
