(Wisconsin) Officials with the state’s DNR urge the public to practice early-winter ice safety on all of Wisconsin’s waterbodies and remember that no ice is safe ice. The temperature swings that mark the final weeks of every year can create ice covers. The ice covers hide the currents, debris and underground springs still feeding lakes and rivers. The DNR does not monitor ice conditions, but they are monitored locally. Local fishing clubs, outfitters and bait shops are the best sources for local current ice conditions. However, the DNR says the best idea for safe winter fun is to enjoy outings without travel over ice.
