Wes hit the nail on the head here. Driving on in April is a stupid move. If they are driving on areas that have current in April well then we have a real winner here.

Maybe they thought that since its a reservoir that it doesn't have current. Or maybe they just are inexperienced with ice fishing and ice conditions.

I wonder if there are stories of tow truck drivers going to rescur a vehicle and then ended up going through the ice themselves?

Sigh....I am hoping I could see open water in the future. Heck -10 with the wind and snow here in Manitoba. We still have about 3'-4' of ice on our lakes.

Thickness of ice means nothing at this time of year when it can be the consistency of a slurpee.
