2 teens die; DNR talks about ice safetyUpdated: Thursday, 23 Dec 2010, 4:57 PM EST Published : Thursday, 23 Dec 2010, 4:50 PM EST Kate Greene TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - Ice skating and ice fishing can be a perfect way to spend time outside during the holiday season, but it can also be very dangerous. In fact, two teenagers in Indiana and Illinois died after falling through the ice on Wednesday. The first rescue mission took place in central Illinois as crews pulled the body of a 15-year-old boy out of the water after being submerged for 90 minutes. He and his dad fell through ice while ice-fishing. A similar situation happened the same day but in Columbus, Indiana. Three teenagers fell through the ice while walking across a lake. Two survived, but a 16-year-old boy was in the water for over two hours before his body was recovered. News 10 learned a third child fell through the ice in Harrisburg, Illinois Thursday afternoon. Luckily, the child fell near the bank and was able to crawl to safety. Now, Indiana Conservation Officer Max Winchell warns everyone about the dangers when dealing with ice. "I'm not going to stand here and tell you it's safe even if it was 14 inches thick," Officer Max Winchell said. "It has to be good clear ice and that takes some really cold nights, with no wind, and we haven't had those conditions really. " Instead the Wabash Valley has seen sun shining down, melting certain parts of the ice, and snow covering the ponds. "That doesn't make for good ice, so you really have to test the ice as you go out," Officer Winchell said. Winchell said you should wear a life jacket and take an ice pick to test the entire the area. He also said if you do fall through the ice, you have time to get out. Winchell said to face the direction you fell in, kick you feet and get your body in a horizontal position to get your self out.

I just watched the local news report on YouTube about the boys in Columbus.. I don't believe that lake is a typical lake. The lady in the video says it never freezes solid, must be some sort of cooling lake or a hot spring?
I got a buddy who hasn't stopped fishing yet. His pond still has 4-6 on it. However I never feel comfortable on ice, let alone ice with water on top of it.

Wow! Thanks for the advice Troy. I'll be fishin a max of about prolly 8 feet tomorrow, so IF I happen to go through, I should'nt have to many probs. I plan on stayin pretty close to the bank. I know my pond, and where and when certain parts are "safe", but I still try to be as cautious as possible, and allways try to be safe. If I get 5 feet out from the bank and somethin just dont feel right, I hang it up for the day, and find somethin else to do. I'd rather be sittin in the barn makein sinkers, than sittin at the bottom of the pond AS a sinker.

Well, our pond had 3 solid inches the day after Christmas, today; open water. I guess open water beats bad ice.
