Different people have differing opinions on what is "safe" ice. I have fished on an inch and half of ice. I didn't think it was safe, but for some reason I still did it. Anyway, I just found this ice chart. Who knows how accurate this chart is. We've all met somebody that has said, "You're crazy for walking on three inches of ice! I wouldn't be caught on any less than ten inches." To which you reply, (at least I have replied) "I would drive a truck on ten inches." Well, here it is, according to the chart you can drive a truck on ten inches of ice. Granted there are different qualities of ice. Clear ice is obviously more dense, and hence more safe than white ice. Just thought I would share this chart. Enjoy.
