				| There was 1/4" at salters in manchester, hopefully there will be ice in a couple weeks. Warm days like today wont help though.  _________________

 A 4lb bass is not going to grow to 8lbs on your wall.

				| I suggest a swedish pimp * ice 1in - 1½in
 
   
 and or
 Vingla 1in - 1½in
 
   
 with the hooks or a hook tipped with mousie or spike (maggot)
 
 In my experience I have found gills from 10ft down probably deeper all the way up to about 3 feet from the ice / water surface
 
 If you dont have a fish finder / camera etc, may I suggest just twitching your rif at different depths...
