Welcome to Attmar FVO!
Ice fishing is absolutely fantastic, but remember that staying and fishing on ice is at your own risk. The fisheries management area is not responsible for accidents or injuries that may occur in connection with ice fishing.
Keep the following in mind in particular
-
The thickness of the ice can vary greatly within the same water area.
-
Flowing water, inlets and outlets, bridges, straits, shallows, reeds and jetties pose extra risks.
-
Snow on the ice can hide weak areas and reduce the strength of the ice.
-
Mild weather, rain and sudden temperature changes can quickly weaken the ice.
Safety advice
-
Always check the load-bearing capacity of the ice before you go out.
-
Never go out alone.
-
Use ice spikes and keep them easily accessible.
-
Bring ice spikes, a lifeline and preferably a life jacket or ice rescue suit.
-
Inform someone where you intend to fish and when you plan to return.
-
Be extra careful early and late in the season.
In case of unsafe ice conditions, we advise against ice fishing altogether.
Take responsibility for your own safety – safe fishing is more fun fishing!
