When is a normal start for folks, for me I usually have not even thought about it till coyotes slow down mid Jan but maybe this year I get into some of that hot first ice action.
I would imagine a lake like Spray is safer before PCR.

Yes I remember that... sadly he died while his kids ran to get help. it was a small farm pond as well. Too much snow on the ice insulated it enough that it didn't freeze thick enough. broke my heart as i have two small kids.
Anyway as for when to get on the ice... i always hit Pigeon boxing day.
