went out to a local pond. It was frozen over it looked sturdy. But well i took 3 steps out and crack. I fell through. Thank god it was only 3 feet of water but still. The ice was 2 inches thick. It looked fine to me. Are there any frozen over lakes how can i find out. I really want to get out and ice fish. My dad just got me a nice ice rod for xmas and i really want to use it. So are there any frozen over lakes.
