The state Department of Natural Resources is warning winter ice enthusiasts to be cautious on the ice as temperatures fluctuate between being above and below freezing in the coming weeks.
Ice fishers ventured out onto Monona Bay Thursday morning, even as ice is beginning to thin, as evidenced by the darker ice closer to shore. In some areas on Monona Bay, the ice is starting to separate from shore, making it difficult to take advantage of thicker ice further out.
