HANCOCK, N.H.—An ice fisherman has died after a snowmobile he was riding fell through the ice on Lake Nubanusit in Hancock.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said emergency workers received a call from John Krieger of Milford about 5 p.m. who said his three companions fell through the ice while heading home on snowmobiles and one of them remained missing.
Divers found 35-year-old Willie Miles and got him out of the water about 7:20 p.m., but were not able to revive him.
Got to be carefull.Mac and I have been fishing the nelson end since 1/1 there is 10 inches of ice everywhere on the nelson end.The hancock end ALWAYS freezes later and can have ice 10 inches in one spot and 2 in another.We will move to that end later in the year.When the ice is better.Couple of years back 2 trucks and a tow truck went to the bottom.I think they have closed it to trucks after that.We have been catching a few lakers,no rainbows or salmon yet.Mac has pictures of this weekend I will let him post pictures.Good luck to all and be carefull B-man
