I think the known issues are taken care of. If you have any issues or know of another member who is having issues, PM daytime dave. As we head towards the holidays, hunt with your Henry.

haven't heard if the ice on Lake Poinsett in east-central SD has gotten thick enough to support ice fishing or not .... a few weeks ago a fellow and his grandson fell through, both died ....
Yes... It happens every year here... Lost a fellow in a local lake a few weeks ago when his truck went through.. We walked to, and out on this lake.. 12" of good ice.
The lake that I have my spear house on has 18" of real clear good ice. I do drive my truck out there with confidence.

It's sure a sad deal when we lose folks through the ice. It really never is totally safe.

Our lake is never totally safe, even in below zero weather, that's for sure. We have a lot of bog springs in spots that never really freeze hard, so you have to know the lake to avoid those spots.

Sometimes if there is a lot of snow cover on the ice it can act as an insulation and ice does not get thicker

That is a beauty trout! I would love to catch some trout through the ice. I've only tried it once when the ice was good enough on Superior just outside of Duluth. Got skunked that day for trout, but did get a few eelpout.
