Ok so I have an ice problem. I need to get a line out of a frozen lake without cutting the line. This line has research equipment on the end that's under the ice. The lake is about 40 inches deep and the ice is about 25 inches. I have an ice auger but the line is not long enough to drill next to it and pull it up the new hole. Any ideas?

I thought about the coat hanger idea but the problem is the line under the ice is not long enough for that. I will probable give the chainsaw or the multiple hole idea a try. How many holes can you drill with a typical auger before its too dull to cut?

I would go with the chain saw and a hammer, or even a drill with a long paddle bit and hammer over a hand auger for this.

Drill a hole in the right spot, hook onto the line with a new line or hook, cut the old line.

This would work if instead of hooking the line and pulling the tag up, a new line could be tied fast to the old under the ice. A sheet bend or sailors knot would do the trick and although they be hard to tie it could be done with sticks with a nail in the end.
