Flaming Gorge Scare

[Bduck]

I've been hearing about this story of ice fishermen for 2 days now at the Gorge. A reminder when you are ice fishing on any body of water to be careful. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705365067/Fishermen-rescued-from-Flaming-Gorge-ice-floe.html

I wonder if they bothered to troll while they were drifting?

Ice

Doesn't look too thick. It does happen sometimes on Lake Erie even when the ice is thick enough to drive cars and trucks on it. In southern Michigan, Diehad Fishermen will push an aluminum row boat ahead of them incase there is a problem.
