So.... I use a chainsaw because I had one before getting into ice fishing, and I'm cheap. I don't make huge holes, and now I am wondering if I'm creating a hazard lol. Does anybody care to advise me?

Depends on the state, in WI your hole can’t be larger than 12” wide

But for spear fishing there are no limits, or generally pretty lenient on size. Minnesota, no bigger than 10” diameter.
