I live in Minnesota and is late November. The weather is about 24c over here and 32 is when ice starts to form. The lakes over here have a layer of ice on top but when is it safe to start actually ice fishing. I hear the rule is 4 inches, how can you tell? i walked on a little part of the lake near my house and it didn’t crack but i was scared to walk out any farther. I dont hear alot of people Ice fishing in November.

I’m fishing in Washington on the West coast in the nisqually river to be exact. I was wondering how the tides affect fishing? what tides I need to fish. Why to fish these tides? Basically I need to learn the low down on these factors or if they even matter. I need as much detail as possible to understand this. I am also fishing for chinooks and cohos (kings and silvers) if that materrs. Thank you in advance.
