In the past I've set field decoys on ice. I broke open an area about 40 x 70 and had them to one side and along the shore and then a few floaters in the water. I worked. Maybe a few guys could try it to extend their season.
One thing though--thin ice and dogs--can easily kill a dog. They break through in more than 4' of water and they can not get back up on the ice. Years ago I almost lost my dog on a ice retreive on a small lake. I had to break through 1" of ice with my boat to get to him. It seemed like an eternity to go those last ice covered 85' to get to him.

God, help me be the man that my dog thinks that I am.
