St. Paul, MN – With ice conditions rapidly deteriorating across much of central and southern Minnesota, the Department of Natural Resources is urging anglers to plan now for removing their fish houses as key shelter deadlines approach.
The DNR’s Joe Albert says, “It doesn’t mean the ice fishing season is over. People can still fish, and you can still use fish houses. But if they’re going to be on the ice between midnight and an hour before sunrise, you basically need to be sleeping in them or fishing from them or kind of, you know, we use the word attending them.”
The deadline in Otter Tail County and the southern two-thirds of the state is 12:59 p.m. Monday, March 2nd. March 16th for the northern one-third of the state and March 31st for Minnesota-Canada border waters.
