Ice fishing starts early in Wisconsin and Saskatchewan, but officials warn of thin, unsafe ice.

Due to recent cold weather, ice fishing has started early in Northeast Wisconsin, but officials warn the ice is thin and unpredictable. They advise testing ice thickness with chisels, carrying ice picks and ropes, and never going alone. In Saskatchewan, the Water Security Agency also urges caution, noting ice thickness varies greatly and can be hazardous, especially with warm weather. They advise against activities on ice without proper safety measures and emphasize that no ice is 100% safe.
