Hi Canadian guy here that loves the ditch, will be back for 2 weeks in Sept.
Getting out when you fall in is key. Could 1 of you guys you tube "Survival in the Ice" part 1 and 2 and post this link.
This guy cross country skis into open water and shows what your body goes thru and how to get out. Really good stuff.
Couple more pts. most commercial spuds are junk. Go down to the local spring repair guy and get end piece of car spring 1.5 inches X 6-7 long. Get a welding shop to cut a groove 3-4 inch up a pipe and weld your car spring piece. You can add some weight in the pipe but not necessary. Add a piece of pipe and a t bar.
2 hits with this spud will be safe for ordinary size guys.
One big danger on ice is white outs. I don't trust my phone or GPS.
Get a compass and pin it to your ice fishing coat.
And you will learn about ice spikes in the video. Life saver.
