Winter Ice Fishing Safety

[Belasko]

Was out exploring today and I found a couple spots right close to town that are starting to freeze. Gem Lake by the dam has ice (not sure how thick). A few miles further south I found another spot that had about 1 inch of ice that was crystal clear. It made a really interesting almost musical sound when I threw rocks on it. If it doesn't get too warm in the next 1-2 weeks we could be fishing on hard water really soon. I imagine that mud lake and Ririe probably have similar type conditions but I have yet to check them personally.
