Ice Fishing Apps
Frigid Fish Fellows is a Terramagne-Vermont app for ice fishing. The public service features are free and don't even require an account, for the sake of everyone's safety and sanity. These include safety instructions for cold weather and ice fishing, area maps, navigation and GPS, weather forecasting with emergency alerts, the official ice reports, open/close information for individual water bodies and supporting businesses like bait shops, hunting/fishing season information, park service announcements, and so on. There is also a trip log where anyone can announce where they're going with when they expect to leave home, arrive on site, and return home. That way people know where to look if someone goes missing.
The personal, social news, and networking features require an account, but there are free and paid versions. The free version of the fishing log and journal lets you record conditions, locations, and catch but only for the current season. You can download it to save, but it disappears from the site after the official end of the ice fishing season. The paid version lets you store it permanently on the app and also has enhanced search and data handling features to learn from your experiences.
The free membership offers a general community for ice fishing plus one for each significant location, and a basic set of tipsheets for various aspects of ice fishing. Members can use these communities to converse with each other as well as share news about what fish they've caught where and with what bait. There's a bulletin board for seeking companions on fishing trips. But it's all public; you can't create private groups or send private messages. The paid version not only lets you create private groups and send private messages, but also create a member page with your fishing log and journal, and add new water bodies with their parameters.
The professional version adds another tier of features for trip guides, business owners, and others in the fishing and aquatic recreation field. It offers a business page with booking options and customer endorsements, creation of private groups for clients, and customizable tools for sending private or group messages regarding where and how to catch fish so professionals can network for better catches. Professional members can also buy a discounted membership for their clients, and if a client renews, the professional gets a kickback for the referral. Many member businesses offer a discount to allied businesses and individual members.

The Iowa DNR recommends at least four inches of solid ice to walk and stand on. Eight to twelve inches is best for any machinery. It’s best to check ice thickness every 20 feet or so. Joe Larsheid, Fisheries Bureau Chief of the Iowa DNR, says ice may crack initially when stepped on, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will shatter.
