Winter kill prevention tips?

[antgogz]

Hey guys i fish a small lake thats spring fed and 40 ft in the middle. Over the past 15 years or so i have witnessed three fish kills during extremely cold winters that pretty much wiped out the whole lake. Seeing a washed up six pound bass did not sit well with me. From what i read it said to clear snow off of the ice so photosynthesis can take place and keep oxygen in the lake. I also heard that drilling holes in the lake is a must. Any other advice? Thanks guys
