[QUOTE="dean nelson, post: 56335, member: 1305"] Don't go alone and make sure you have a pair of ice picks with. Four inches of clear ice is more then enough to hold you but like many said it can be quite variable so if possible its always a good idea to check the lake as it freezes so you can know where the ice is a couple days older or younger. If you can't watch it look for wave lines in the ice which in clear ice will be an area of cloudy slushy looking ice often about 10 or so feet wide and will run in and undulating line around the lake. The ice on these lines is often weaker and the ice past can sometimes be considerably thiner. [/QUOTE]
