For ice anglers this winter, be safe on the ice and know the proper thickness. * Ice may not be the same thickness all over. * Stay away from "stickups" like brush, logs, plants or docks. * Stay away from multiple pressure cracks on the ice. * When ice fishing, spread out because crowds can add too much weight in the same area. 26 Pennsylvania Angler & Boater * January/February 2014 * When fishing from shore, be extra careful near rivers and streams. Moving water wears ice from underneath, so the ice may look thicker than it really is. * Make sure you study this chart, so you know when it's safe to go on the ice. PFBC Facebook: PaFishandBoat
