I have not been out to Bluegrass since the last big snow fall we had so I'm curious if the water's frozen out there since we have had all this cold weather lately.

I saw a picture of someone ice fishing on the Friends of Bluegrass Facebook page. It looked like that might be fun to try if the ice is thick enough.

I won't go on any ice unless it's at least 4" thick on a small pond and at least 8" thick on bigger bodies of water.

Water that has a current can have thin spots so I avoid those types of waters and don't got out on them if they have ice on them.

I was hunting ducks with some friends back in the 1970's down at Hovey Lake and one of the guys with us was pushing his boat across the thin ice and fell though and got wet. The ice was only about 3" thick and it warmed up before we finished hunting and had a hard time getting back to the launch ramp. Everyone was holding onto the side of the boat while walking along the ice and pushing the boat across the ice. The things we do to go hunting huh?
