I wear snowshoes. You won't hardly sink more than a few inches with them in deep snow or slush. Cross country skis are even better. Use them to pack down a spot to fish on, it freezes instantly, You will have an elevated,
frozen,dry, spot to fish on.
You can also walk on and off the ice with snowshoes and not break through on the thin ice late in the season.
Make sure you have some good waterproof boots too.
My first year ice fishing at soldier creek in 1985. I had an old cheap pair of cloth snow mobile boots that weren't
waterproof. I used plastic bags on my feet over the first pair of socks, my feet stayed dry and warm.
I enjoy seeing the kids, women, and older guys like my dad, get excited landing fish.
